The advice to workaround the "expansion timer rest bug" for Kindle Fire 1.13 users appears in a comment below on this page in great detail. Do not leave the game for any reason if you are trying this workaround. I do not know where that that "exit by home arrow only" advice came from. That's the only way I ever exit and the timer reset everytime. The timer may reset if you leave the game FOR ANY REASON by any method. The workaround I posted requires you to completely dedicate your Kindle to running TV until the expansion completes the countdown in one long marathon session. Avoid things that may crash your session such as tipping until the countdown is over. Be sure to dim your screen to avoid damaging it.

You can also escape the countdown trap by using crystals to instant expand. This option was available this weekend at greatly discounted prices. Not sure when it ends. Check the instant expand price by clicking on the expansion arrows. It's sad to waste crystals this way, but for some, this discounted price may be worth it. You can also further decrease the instant expand price by running the timer as long as you can and then instantly expanding.

Repeat: If you leave the game for any reason by any method the timer will most likely reset back to max for those on Kindle Fire updated to 1.13. So far no fix from TinyCO.

Good luck and hang in there,

It sure is frustrating, but this to shall pass.
