Recurring tasks that don't carry over elapsed time

Currently each recurring task also brings over any elapsed timers settings. I request that field not carry over any data.
For example: I have a daily task of "Process Help Scout". I ran the timer yesterday & it took me 14 minutes. I marked it complete. When it recurred for today, it still had that I had spent 14 minutes on that task (the new recurrence). But I haven't done that task yet today.
I delete it each day so that I can start the timers over from 0 and have an accurate picture of my time, so it would be better if that field just didn't carry over - or if there is some use case I am unaware of where someone wants their timer status to carry over, then at least a choice in the setup.

I like that idea but it should be optional for each task. There are some tasks that I want to have cumulative time and others that I don't. Using your example, I may want "Process Help Scout - April" to be a running total for the month.
