When does the 'Timer Event' Skip an Input Task node?

If I set up 'skip this node 30 minutes after activation of the timer event', when is the timer event activated? Is it as soon as the user accepts the task?

If it's in an activity-chained flow, does it start as soon as the user reaches the node?
What I mean is, if it took the user 40 minutes to complete the task, and the timer is set to 30 minutes, what would happen to the end user? Would he be able to submit the task successfully?

The timer is activated as soon as the process reaches the user input task node, even if no user has accepted the task yet. Thus, if it takes the user 40 minutes to complete a form that has a 30 minute exception timer, when submitting the form, the user will get a message indicating that the task has already been completed. Any work that they have done on the form will not be saved, as the process has already moved on.
