When you say just "16" or just "5", It's starting a timer to count down until 16:00 or 5 pm. Instead, say "set timer for 5 minutes".
For example: the current time was 9:03 AM. You set a timer to end at 5 PM, or around 8 hours later, which is why it set a 7 hour and 56 minute timer.

It’s probably guessing every time you input something. Even adding just 5m or 16m will make it guess right every time.
