Timer that is not valid

The check compat/timer, in the group Engine compatibility.

Error

Why it matters

A timer with a date, duration or cycle the engine cannot read fails when the process is deployed or reached.

How to fix it

Write the timer as an ISO 8601 date, duration or cycle, or as an expression.

Where you see it

The Problems tab lists it under Engine, the editor marks the element on the canvas, and penstock check reports it as compat/timer. It checks the diagram against the engine and the version it is written for: the version in the file's modeler:executionPlatformVersion, or the newest one when the file has none. Operaton and CIB seven are checked as Camunda 7. This check is free.

To turn it off, set camunda-compat/timer or compat/timer to off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
