+/*
+
+This is a code snippet for how to use the time remaining on the timer in your puzzle module.
+
+To avoid the time left getting stale and inaccurate, we instead calculate when the timer will run
+out and store this deadline. When we need to get the time left, we can then calculate it.
+
+This does not handle some edgecases:
+- times and timedeltas are stored in a 32-bit unsigned int, this can overflow after ~50 days, causing all sorts of weirdness
+ => avoid having modules powered on for a long time
+- the get_millis_remaining() getting called before receiving the first state update
+ => try to only call this function after human input
+ => alternatively, keep track of whether you can call the `get_millis_remaining` function already in a boolean
