Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce your problem on my test server. Are you getting any errors in the console when the event is over?

Is this the same config that you already sent above?

Because I already tested this one.

almost, you think maybe it's all the locked crates?

I don't think the crates are causing this problem. There is probably an error somewhere that prevents a new timer from starting after the event has finished. Please check your logs, an error message would be extremely helpful.
