Time Slider not working on Seconds or half minutes

[AnonymousUser23]

We have a time slider widget that we are feeding from a webmap. We have to do it this way due to live data being updated by a notebook. The issue is that when i change the time slider properties to seconds, it makes a solid bar in experience builder even though it works in the map. When I use the esriTimeUnitsMinutes but set it to .5, the play button and forward/backward controls donot work in Experience builder but it does in the webmap. Any ideas?

When set to seconds, it does not work

update_timeSlider = {
'properties': {
'startTime': min_value, # Unix timestamp for start time
'endTime': max_value, # Unix timestamp for end time
'thumbCount': 2,
'thumbMovingRate': 500,
'timeStopInterval': {
'interval': 1,
'units': 'esriTimeUnitsMinutes'
}
