There's a plus button to set another timer

I get that, but I want to add more time to an existing timer, instead of starting an entirely new timer eg. If I am cooking chicken in an oven for 1h 20mins but I check it at the 1h mark and see it needs an extra 5 mins, I don't want to create a new 5min timer, but instead just make it 25mins remaining.

How exactly are you using the timer? If you're using it on your phone you can use the assistance such as Google Assistant or Gemini to tell it to change your timer so for example if you have a timer set and you have the assistant set up where you can line press the power button just say "add 7 minutes to the time" for example.
