Im having the opposite sort of problem. On Ubuntu 20.04 with grub2 2.04 - I want the menu to display but only for GRUB_TIMEOUT seconds. No matter what settings I use, it always displays indefinitely and never counts down.

If I set GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE="countdown", it will do the countdown and never shows the menu as expected, but we want the menu AND the menu timeout countdown.

Setting GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT makes no difference.

My system does boot from an LVM RAID boot partition, but I have several other identical systems configured exactly the same way that do not have this problem. It seems rather random.
