Currently, I have an automation that turns on my air conditioner for 37 minutes, every 3 hours. However, during that time, I cannot do anything like update, HAOS, etc. Because it breaks the timer, and then I have to manually shut it off.

Save stop time to a helper. Helper state persists through automation restarts, ha restarts, and OS restarts.

Check the helper every minute. Or, just run until the stop time is reached, and create an automation to check and restart the timer when HA restarts.
