You can set a timer to tick every .1 second and decrease the float variable by .1 each tick until it reaches zero, and divide this value by 7 to get the percentage

Or get a world time, add 7 to it and save it to variable, and then subtract the world time from that variable on tick to get the value.

Or even make a Timeline with curve that goes from 100 to 0 in 7 seconds and use in as progress bar percentage.

- or MapRange 0-7 seconds from the timer onto Progress Bar’s 0-1
- or, since this is widget, use widget animation that lasts 7 seconds
