Javascript Intervals

Hello im trying to make a simple game where user chose a tool then use it and get items from that, but when i try to add intervals for mining im getting small issue. When i use tool with some id it works great but when i try to use that tool again (with same id) interval goes faster here is the code:

let selectedMineId;
let remainingTime = 5;
let miningIntervals = {};
let remainingTimes = {};

function getFormattedTime(remainingTime) {
    const minutes = Math.floor(remainingTime / 60);
    const seconds = remainingTime % 60;
    const formattedTime = `${minutes}:${seconds < 10 ? '0' : ''}${seconds}`;
    console.log("Getting Formatted Time Works")
    return formattedTime;

function useTool(tool) {
    if (miningIntervals[tool.id] > 0) {

I'm guessing you're not clearing the interval the interval will keep triggering until you call clearInterval, passing it the return value of the initial setInterval call (so miningIntervals[tool.id] in this case) just calling delete on miningIntervals[tool.id] won't work, that just destroys the value you can use to clear the interval, so you'd want to change that line to something like

clearInterval(miningIntervals[tool.id]);
delete miningIntervals[tool.id];

clearInterval(miningIntervals[tool.id]);
delete miningIntervals[tool.id];
