Currently, I have an automation that turns on my air conditioner for 37 minutes, every 3 hours. However, during that time, I cannot do anything like update, HAOS, etc. Because it breaks the timer, and then I have to manually shut it off.

This is the way. It’s a little annoying, but much more reliable. If you set an actual date and time, you can also ensure an old timer kicks off if HA was down for more than the minute it needed to hit.
