Is it still not possible to reschedule a countdown from within blocks in an `on countdown end` block?

@jwunderl had a workaround [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/countdown-timer-question/1120/2) but it was in JavaScript and I like to stick to blocks as it’s easier and doesn’t mess up how the blocks are layed out, etc…

I fixed it in beta, but we haven’t had a release for a little while so it’s not out quite yet ☹.

I was about to reply that you could put it in an `after x do` block you made in your awesome timers extension [linked here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/timers-extension-after-x-debounce-throttle-and-in-background/1925) but you beat me to it.

Yes, thatll work - can also just use a flag value in a forever loop:

I think that staying at home is finally getting to me. 🤦‍♂️

Sorry Daryl.
