Surely you must have rebooted it since then? It’s possible it could last through a reboot I guess, since it’s only displaying the difference between current_time and start_time, not actually counting every millisecond when it’s in the background.
Edit: ok, yeah, I just tried it: reboots don’t reset the stopwatch, whaddya know!
Just compares the time started vs the time now. So if you set your device clock back 10 years, start a timer, and set the time back, you’ll see 10 years has elapsed.

That’s good to know, I would have thought it wouldn’t.
I started a stopwatch on my ipod touch back in 2011 and it was still going last time I found and charged it up around 2017.
