Can I extend timers if needed?

I'm running a time-limited promotion and want to understand if I can dynamically extend countdown timers for my discount offers. Sometimes visitors need more time to make a purchase, and I'm concerned about losing potential sales if the timer expires too quickly. I want to know the best practices for managing timer extensions, whether it's possible to reset or extend timers, and how this might impact customer psychology and conversion rates.
