Why timer is inaccurate?

[NoviceWithManyProblems]

Ok.

client side:

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWasted", localPlayer, function()
  setTimer(function(source)
  	triggerServerEvent("spawnWastedPlayer", resourceRoot, source)
  end, 60000, 1, source)
end)

server side

addEvent("spawnWastedPlayer", true)
addEventHandler("spawnWastedPlayer", resourceRoot, function(source)
    spawnPlayer(source, 0, 0, 0)
end)

why practically never waiting for a spawn takes 1 minute, but it's "randomly", but never longer than that 1 minute?

Because the moment of execution is aligned with your fps. (Or internal clock)

I assume this decision is made in order to reduce constantly activity of the CPU and not blocking processes of other applications.

How can I better deduct this time?

You can tighten the timing a little bit by align it manual.

source of your server-side event is a resource, not a player.

Try this

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWasted", localPlayer, function()
  local name = getPlayerName(localPlayer)
  setTimer(function ()
  	triggerServerEvent("spawnWastedPlayer", resourceRoot, name)
  end, 60000, 1)
end)

addEvent("spawnWastedPlayer", true)
addEventHandler("spawnWastedPlayer", resourceRoot, function (name)
    spawnPlayer(getPlayerFromName(name), 0, 0, 0)
end)

use onPlayerWasted on the serverside wiht spawnPlayer
