Javascript Countdown timer using SQL variable

I am new to javascript/jquery. I found the following example on the internet and I am trying to get it working with my SQL variable. But I am stuck because all it does is count down from 60 over and over again..

What I am trying to accomplish is the following. I have a variable which says how many seconds a user needs to wait before it can perform the action again $secs. What I need is to have the time and process-bar countdown with the seconds from the variable to zero. After that I will add a page reload line to it. But first the timer needs to work. I would really appreciate any help as I can not find any workable solution/explanation for my problem.

    <div id='timer'></div>
    <div id='progress' style='background:red; height:5px;'></div>
    <script>
    function started(duration) {
        var TotalSeconds = "<?php echo $secs; ?>";
        var documentWidth = $(document).width();
        var start = Date.now(); 
        var intervalSetted = null;
    
        function timer() {
            var diff = duration - (((Date.now() - start) / 1000) | 0);
            var seconds = (diff % 60) | 0;
            seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
            $('#timer').html("00:" + seconds);
            var progresBarWidth = (seconds * documentWidth / TotalSeconds);
    
            $('#progress').css({
                width: progresBarWidth + 'px'
            });
    
            if (diff <= 0) {
                clearInterval(intervalSetted);
            }
        }
    
        timer();
        intervalSetted = setInterval(timer, 1000);
    }
    
    started("<?php echo $secs; ?>");
    </script>

You need to convert duration to time format.

<div id='timer'></div>
<div id='progress' style='background:red; height:5px;'></div>
<script>
function started(duration) {
    var TotalSeconds = duration;
    var documentWidth = $(document).width();
    var start = Date.now(); 
    var intervalSetted = null;

    function timer() {
        var diff = duration - (((Date.now() - start) / 1000) | 0);
        var seconds = (diff % duration) | 0;
        seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;

        var date = new Date(0);
        date.setSeconds(seconds);
        var timeString = date.toISOString().substr(11, 8);

        $('#timer').html(timeString);
        var progresBarWidth = (seconds * documentWidth / TotalSeconds);

        $('#progress').css({
            width: progresBarWidth + 'px'
        });

        if (diff <= 0) {
            clearInterval(intervalSetted);
        }
    }

    timer();
    intervalSetted = setInterval(timer, 1000);
}

started("<?php echo $secs; ?>");
</script>

function started(duration) {
    var TotalSeconds = duration;
    var documentWidth = $(document).width();
    var start = Date.now(); 
    var intervalSetted = null;

    function timer() {
        var diff = duration - (((Date.now() - start) / 1000) | 0);
        var seconds = (diff % duration) | 0;
        seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
        
        var date = new Date(0);
        date.setSeconds(seconds);
        var timeString = date.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
          
        $('#timer').html(timeString);
        var progresBarWidth = (seconds * documentWidth / TotalSeconds);

        $('#progress').css({
            width: progresBarWidth + 'px'
        });

        if (diff <= 0) {
            clearInterval(intervalSetted);
        }
    }

    timer();
    intervalSetted = setInterval(timer, 1000);
}

started(60);
