You realize, a Lichess Mod can come here and see your message. But I guess it's okay, I've made many accounts for my Bots, and they only closed 1 account! ( Out of 5 ) So, you're safe :)

Creating a 2nd account for the purpose you describe sounds fine.

From the Lichess Terms of Service (https://lichess.org/terms-of-service):

"Multiple accounts - Having more than one account is not allowed, barring specific circumstances. For example, titled players are automatically entitled to one "public" account, for play in certain prize events hosted either by Lichess or another tournament organiser, and one "private" account, for casual play online whilst still displaying their titled status. Untitled players can create a second account for similar reasons, with some examples including having a private account to hide opening preparation, playing "blindfold" games, or playing games with any other self-imposed impairment. Creating an excessive number of accounts (typically any more than three) will generally not be allowed, regardless of reasons. Creating and closing multiple accounts will also be treated as contributing to this maximum number. As with all other rules, the specific circumstances where multiple accounts are allowed remain at Lichess' discretion."
