Start (or replace) your running timer on a subtask. There is at most one running timer per user; starting a new one replaces any existing. Stop it later with stop_timer to create a Draft time entry, or cancel it with cancel_timer to discard it. Supply subtask_id.
Input schema

|---|---|---|---|
| subtask_id | string | yes | Id of the subtask to track time against. |
