I don't really understand what you want.

If you want the countdown to start after opening the GUI, why do you put countdownMS there and don't put the setTimer in the function, which opens the GUI?

If you want to reset the countdown just use

countdownMS = getTickCount() + 350000

again

local countdownMS = false 
  
setTimer ( function() 
    if guiGetVisible ( idlewind )  then 
        if not countdownMS then 
            countdownMS = getTickCount() + 350000 
        end 
        local m,s = getTimeMS(countdownMS-getTickCount()) 
        guiSetText( timer, " Minutes: "..m.." |  Seconds:"..s ); 
    else 
        countdownMS = false    -- if you wanna stop the countdown when gui is closed. 
    end 
end, 1000, 0 ) 

And just use

countdownMS = getTickCount() + 350000

again to reset the Countdown.
