setInterval count down is not works when the browser tab is not active or focus

As part of my react app, setInterval specific count-down is not works exactly with same seconds when the browser tab is either inactive or not focused scenario.

What the alternative or best solution to overcome this issue?

const [inactiveTimer, setInactiveTimer] = useState(120);
 useEffect(() => {    
     const inactiveInterval = setInterval(() => {
         if (timeoutInterval > 0) {
             setInactiveTimer(timeoutInterval - 1);
         } else if (timeoutInterval === 0) {
             setShowModal(true);
         }
     }, 1000);
     return () => {
        clearInterval(inactiveInterval);
     };
 }, []);
