 * Hi,
 * Repro:
    1. Set the countdown timer to 5 mins. 2. Enable maintenance mode.
 * What happens:
    1. Countdown remains at 0 : 00 : 00 : 00
 * What should happen:
    1. Countdown to start at 0: 00: 05: 00 and count downwards

 * Hello [@rooftopwalking](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rooftopwalking/),
 * Have you introduced a proper Start date? 🙂
 * Example:
    Start date: 22-10-2016 03:37:23 Countdown (remaining time): 0 days 
   0 hours 5 minutes
 * The countdown will start from 22-10-2016 03:37:23 and count downwards until 22-
   10-2016 03:42:23.
    If the difference between now and start date is bigger than
   the countdown… you’ll see: 0 : 00 : 00 : 00
 * Thanks.
