99:59:59 Timer

A 99:59:59 timer, set to the exact maximum and ready to start. Ninety-nine hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds is the largest value a six-digit HH:MM:SS clock can display — type one more second and there is nowhere for it to go. It is the number you land on when you ask a timer for the biggest countdown it will take.

This is the same length as the [longest timer](/fun-timers/longest), shown the way it is usually searched: as the literal 99:59:59. Press start and it counts down from just over four days; open it in the editor if you want a shorter, more useful length.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 99:59:59 mean?
Ninety-nine hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds — read as HH:MM:SS. It is the highest a six-digit timer display can count to, which is why it is the maximum you can set.
Is 99:59:59 really the maximum?
Yes, for this timer and most others: the display holds two digits each for hours, minutes, and seconds, and 99:59:59 fills all six. There is no way to enter a larger time — the next second would need a seventh digit the clock does not have.
How many days is 99 hours and 59 minutes?
Just over four days — 99 hours is four days and three hours, plus the extra 59 minutes and 59 seconds. So a 99:59:59 timer runs for a little more than four full days if you let it.
