I'm stuck in that same loop as well. My opponent still has not had a timer after 5 minutes of inactivity. If this is the way to cheat the system then it seems like a pretty easy fix. I'm looking at some pretty old complaints about this and the fact that it hasn't been fixed is concerning. I think it also needs to be made known on the app store as well. This is just straight up cheating.
