Assuming nobody else is immune and has the power to restart it. If someone else did have the power to restart time, I think the thought process would go:
Bob: “Aha! I have the power to stop time with the snap of my fingers”
[starts to snap]
Bob: “Oh wait! What if I’m not immune!”
[time is frozen]
Some dude elsewhere: “Weird, time stopped again! I guess I’ll take advantage and rob this bank.” Then, later “Ok, got all the money, now I’ll just crack my knuckles to restart time.”
[time is unfrozen]
Bob: “Wait… I just snapped my fingers and time didn’t stop! I guess I don’t have that power at all!”
You realize you’re not immune right AS you are in the midst of the act of snapping your fingers
And you are stuck in that thought forever.

But it’s ok because you don’t realize you’re stuck
Unless you realize really fast
Realize as in remember, yes, I give you that. But realize as in you’re surprised, not.
