Following is the code for my Auction Timer what i am trying to do here is making an auction storing starting and ending date so lets say an auction is going to last for 5 hours so the end date will be 5 hours from current time i am starting the Auction timer right after storing the end date for the auction it is working as expected but the problem i am facing now is the timer is bit delay from the end time around 2,3 minutes roughly that's means the process which is suppose to run immediately after the auction expires is running 2,3 minutes late i am not really sure what i am missing here.
