`st.spinner` show_time pauses when you go away

Hi. I noticed that in st.spinner, with show_time set as true, the timer gets paused when you move to a different tab of browser, and continues when you return from there.
and if you go and come back after a while(like 1-2 minutes), it restarts from 0. Why does this happen? How are you supposed to know how much time has passed in that case, for the process?
