Rupee Dash Mode timer ticks at inopportune times

Currently the timer for Rupee Dash runs during text boxes (talking to characters, reading signs, etc.) and cutscenes. Resulting in likely death or huge loss of rupees/health upon gaining control afterwards. It would be more enjoyable for the player to have the countdown pause during these moments so that you can resume the same game state afterwards.
The timer does pause correctly while in the pause/start menu.
