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 should be activated as soon as the process reaches that node (i.e. when the task is assigned, not accepted). When activity chained this is also the case. It will skip 30 minutes after being pushed to that node unless it is already submitted.

If the user took 40 minutes then the user would see the red warning box ("this task has already been submitted").
