```
function TOTPWorker.Initialize: boolean;
...
Task.SetTimer(1, 1000, @TOTPWorker.MaintainanceTimer);
```

**This might be unneeded** and wastes too much energy

especially on the laptop on battery.
OTL is used in [RFindUnit](https://github.com/rfrezino/RFindUnit) Delphi addon which causes fast timer running until Delphi IDE is closed.
