No. It's your responsibility to keep track of them

In short, no. You have to manually destroy the timer objects, it's usually done in the logic of the function that determines whether the timer should continue or not.

Or you could use this function instead:
Code:

createTimer(delay, function(...),...):
  Creates a timer object that waits the given delay, executes the given function, and then self-destructs

Maybe a solution can be provided with an arrangement.
Some requirements:
1) The created Timer should follow each other's order (tim1-tim2-tim3 etc.)
2) While creating the Timer, an existing function must be ready and this assignment must be made during creation (tim3.OnTimer=yourTim3Function)
3) The render function and the function of the key that killed it should be at the bottom of the Script code.

Here is the code sample;
Code:
local allTimer={ }

local timerCrtNil=1

function TimerNil()
for i=0, 3 do
allT=allTimer["myT"..i+1]
if allT then
allT.Destroy() allT=nil end
end
end
--Must always be dead at the entrance
TimerNil()

--script code
--...
--...

function TimerCreate()
allTimer.myT2=createTimer() allTimer.myT2.Interval=1000 allTimer.myT2.Enabled=false
allTimer.myT2.OnTimer=myT2Tick
allTimer.myT3=createTimer() allTimer.myT3.Interval=2000 allTimer.myT3.Enabled=false
allTimer.myT3.OnTimer=myT3Tick
allTimer.myT1=createTimer() allTimer.myT1.Interval=1000 allTimer.myT1.Enabled=true
allTimer.myT1.OnTimer=myT1Tick
allTimer.myT4=createTimer() allTimer.myT4.Interval=2000 allTimer.myT4.Enabled=false
allTimer.myT4.OnTimer=myT4Tick
end

--button timer create or nil function
function timerOpsion()
if timerCrtNil==1 then
TimerCreate()
timerCrtNil=2
else
TimerNil()
timerCrtNil=1
end
end

--UDF1.CEButton1.OnClick=timerOpsion


Here is a test example;
Code:
local allTimer={ }

function TimerNil()
for i=0, 3 do
allT=allTimer["myT"..i+1]
if allT then
allT.Destroy() allT=nil end
end
end
--Must always be dead at the entrance
TimerNil()

local aa=0
local timerCrtNil=1

function myT2Tick()
aa=tonumber(aa) + 1
print("myT2 Tick: "..aa)
if aa==10 then
allTimer.myT2.Enabled=false
end
end

function myT1Tick()
aa=tonumber(aa) + 1
print("myT1 Tick: "..aa)
if aa==10 then
TimerNil()
--check nil?
--allTimer.myT2.Enabled=true --result: "Error:Access violation"
--or create check
--allTimer.myT2=createTimer() allTimer.myT2.Interval=1000 allTimer.myT2.OnTimer=myT2Tick aa=0 allTimer.myT2.Enabled=true
end
end

--script code
--...
--...

function TimerCreate()
aa=0
allTimer.myT2=createTimer() allTimer.myT2.Interval=1000 allTimer.myT2.Enabled=false
allTimer.myT2.OnTimer=myT2Tick
allTimer.myT3=createTimer() allTimer.myT3.Interval=2000 allTimer.myT3.Enabled=false
allTimer.myT3.OnTimer=myT3Tick
allTimer.myT1=createTimer() allTimer.myT1.Interval=1000 allTimer.myT1.Enabled=true
allTimer.myT1.OnTimer=myT1Tick
allTimer.myT4=createTimer() allTimer.myT4.Interval=2000 allTimer.myT4.Enabled=false
allTimer.myT4.OnTimer=myT4Tick
end

--button timer create or nil function
function timerOpsion()
if timerCrtNil==1 then
TimerCreate()
timerCrtNil=2
else
TimerNil()
timerCrtNil=1
end
end

timerOpsion()
--UDF1.CEButton1.OnClick=timerOpsion


Enjoy it!
