The timer attributes work best with surveys displayed in "Question by question" mode. It is possible to use them in "Group by group" mode, but with certain restrictions. In "Group by group" mode the default time_limit_action is to "Disable only", meaning that the "Next >>" button is not automatically pressed. Automatically moving on to the next question is disabled in group by group mode ''unless'' the group only contains one question.
