Yes, when the task (in your case a loop) contained within a timer element ends, the timer ends. A timer is used to control the maximum time that a task can run before stopping the task at the end of the specified duration. If the task completes before the duration time, then the timer is ends (and the RC will be set to 0 indicating the task ended before the specified duration).

If no, how can I jump out of the timer when “finished = 1”?
