Why does the timer skip?

[RGX12]

Yesterday, my daughter was playing this game and she complained to me that the power "countdown" timer was randomly skipping over numbers. I thought she might have been imagining it so I checked it myself, and she was right. I noticed several times that it skipped a small sequence, maybe three or four percentage points (e.g., 43->39). In one test game, I left both doors closed from the beginning, and just watched the timer. There were two very large skips, one where the timer decremented by 9% and another where it jumped down 11% in one fell swoop!

Is this a bug, or is it by design? If it's by design, it's annoying and doesn't add anything to the game.
(Note: this behavior was only observed on "Night 4", the only level that was tested)

The Power Usage tells you how much power you conserve. Green bars drains your power slowly, Yellow bars drains your power fast, red bars means you use too much power. And when it hits to zero percent, the power goes out.

That's great that you took the time to respond, but you clearly didn't read my post. I know precisely how the power meter works--it's not like it's hard to understand. My issue concerns the meter jumping down multiple percentage points at a clip, arbitrarily robbing the player of time they think they have.

This is actually normal, whenever Foxy hits your door, he takes a bit of your power

I did research into it, and Foxy drains power in 5% intrevals.

As if the power wasn't already going down fast enough, lol. Thanks for digging that info up, I never would have guessed it.
