Hi, i have created a timer, which auto reloads at every 1s, it works fine for some times, but then it starts toggling led at time period less than 1sec. What is the issue ?

Note:
I custom defined pdMS_TO_TICKS to: pdMS_TO_TICKS to ( ( TickType_t ) ( xTimeInMs ) ), because my configTICK_RATE_HZ is 1000
The task which created this timer goes to blocked state using vTaskDelay. for over 24 hours.

Show your code. No point in guessing.

How did you determine this? Also, please share code as @RAc asked.

How much less than 1s? Is the error < 1 tick?

Sorry for the delay, actually found the issue, you see i started the timer in the task loop, and the loop iterates every 24 hour, so after 24 hour the loop starts the timer without stopping it. It was a silly mistake from my side, havent given a proper error validation which caused this.
