Where and how is t defined?

There must be some code missing; however, from what is shown, once t increments to 300 where is it cleared?

 

Although, what you are attempting is possible, it seems to be a poor use of the timer.

 

I would probably do something like:

volatile uint16_t t_count;   // System Timer0 Overflow tick counter
uint16_t PortBstartTime;         // Start time for PORTB event 

ISR(TIMER0_OVF_vect)
{
    t_count++;
}

static inline uint16_t getCurrentTime(void) __attribute__((always_inline));
uint16_t getCurrentTIME(void) {
	uint16_t temp;
	ATOMIC_BLOCK(ATOMIC_FORCEON) {
		temp = t_count;
	}
	return (temp);
}

in main() {
  ...
  while (1) {
    ...
    if(PINB & (1 << PB0)) {
            PORTB |= (1 << PB6);  // PB6 high
            PortBstartTime = getCurrentTime();  // Load current time into PortBstartTime
    }

    // The 300 in the following would be the count of Timer0 Overflows that should be delayed
    if ((int16_t)(getCurrentTime() - PortBstartTime) > 300) {
        PORTB &= ~(1 << PB6);   // PB6 low
    }
  ...
  }
}

This minimizes time in the ISR and allows timing for multiple events, just saving a startTime for each event.

Edit: If PB0 goes high (again) while the delay is waiting for 300 ticks, a new PortBstartTime will be generated keeping PB6 high.

After making decision In my "ISR(TIMER0_OVF_vect)" I'm disable timer "TIMSK &=~ (1<<TOIE0);"

Just to be clear -- that does NOT "disable timer".  Rather, it just disables one of the interrupt sources for that timer's events from firing.  The timer is not stopped.

No.

(and the thread title indeed says Start/Stop)

 

Even if you do actually "stop" the timer from continuing to count (see the datasheet -- it sure would help if you told us which AVR model is involved), there still may be pins attached to the timer if e.g. you were doing CTC or PWM.

 

See the "stopped" in there?

Of course there is. In the beginning (as the book says) timers are all stopped. They only start to run when you set the CS bits to something other than 0. To stop you put the CS bits back to 0.

No clock source (Timer/Counter stopped)
