I have a utility typescript class with a static function called initTimer(), this function calls setTimeout. However when this static function called from react component the timer is not started!

StyleWrapper.tsx

const StyleWrapper: FC = (props) => {
  const arrangeTiles = () => {
    StyleUtil.initTimer();
  };
  return (
    <Context.Provider value={{ arrangeTiles }}>
      <div id="cnplStyleWrapper">{props.children}</div>
    </Context.Provider>
  );
};

StyleUtil.tsx

export class StyleUtil{
    public static initTimer(){
      const timeoutId = window.setTimeout(() => {
        console.log("Timeout Called!!");        
       }, 100);
    }
}

when I set timeout value to 0 then the console statement is logged in console but any value other than 0 the log statement is not logged in console. Weird, Am I missing something conceptually here?
