Automatically end block (with page breaks) after a fixed time limit

I am writing in response to this question https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/5568#Comment_5568

I have a similar problem that I am trying to deal with. I have a block of 10 problems, each separated by page breaks. Participants should get 3 minutes to complete all 10 problems. After 3 minutes, they should automatically advance to the next block, even if they haven't gotten to all problems. I do NOT want any timer information displayed to the participant, I just want it advance to the next block after 3 minutes. I tried working with the code displayed above, but it seems a lot of this code deals with displaying the timer to the participant. I am having trouble implementing this - either the autoadvance is failing to occur or it occurs immediately after the first question before the 3 min is up.
I was wondering if I could get some specific instructions on how to set up this 3 minute block timer without displaying the timer to the participant. I suspect it should be relatively simple, I just can't seem to implement it!

Add timer question in beginning of each block and select auto advance (set 180 seconds). Also select dont show timer and make your questions non force.

Hii @timothygg ,

Create embedded data before that block with value equal to 180.
And add following javascript code on each page.

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/5616#Comment_5616Sorry, I know it's been a while. I have the same problem but the code works like this: when the time is over, the participant is automatically guided to the next question within this block (questions are separated by page breaks). Unfortunately, I need them to be guided to the next block. Do have an idea? Anyone else?

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/30637#Comment_30637Set an embedded data field to flag that the time is up and add display logic based on the flag to the rest of the questions in the block.

https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/30655#Comment_30655Sorry, I do not understand what this means. But I think I figuered out what's the problem with the code. It doesn't set TimeLeft to zero when the 10 seconds end. I displayed TimeLeft on the following question and the value was the initial number of seconds. How can I fix this?

Got it now, thank you Tom!

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/30637#Comment_30637Hi there,
Do you remember how you fixed the problem? I am having the same issues, and not sure how to fix it. I added the display logic to every single question, but the timer seems to restart with every single question within the block.
