So for AP, the timer resets when you start a quest (I think when the loading starts) or a harem episode. For BP, I think it's when you start loading into a raid. But I'm not 100% sure when it comes to a situation where you spend a half-elixir or seeds and then back out.
Using Seeds or HEs does the same as spending that resource. That is, if you're at 0 BP and you have 10 minutes until your next BP tick, if you spend 4 Seeds then it'll be 20 minutes until your next BP tick.

The system sucks ass, to be honest.
