Do you have any sort of noise reduction set in the camera? It will take a second NR exposure after the image is taken. This might throw the timer off.

Some timers need intervals longer than the exposure (like 30 sec exposure and 33 sec interval to get a 3 sec gap between exposures).

Usually interval is the time between suvcessive exposures.

What about self timer on the camera? Should be off.

Note:

To get intervallometer sequences working properly with my EOS R and EOS RP interval MUST be set to 3 sec or longer.

When interval is set to 2 sec both cameras skip some exposures.

A strange limitation (with my other brand cameras I use 1 sec intervals and no problems).
