Schedulers running in the background and other programs running can consume timers independent of what your program does. I do not think that by disabling a timer it is then made available to others. You might consider running a timer which has as its interval a number which is the increment or an integral division of the increment for each of the timers in your app. Let the other timer routines register their callback and interval and the one timer can dispatch to them. .
