how to hide clock / playing on an e ink monitor?

I'm trying to play classical games on my eink monitor but the problem is the screen has to refresh every time a second passes on the clock. Eink monitors are very expensive and can only refresh a certain number of times before they reach the end of their lifespan. If it only had to refresh every time I type in a move or my opponent plays one this wouldn't be an issue. I can check the time by typing clock so I have no need for it. Does anyone know a way to hide it or another solution to my problem? Does chess.com or another website let you?

Try zen mode in settings

I already tried zen mode but the time is still there. Does it disappear for you?

Zen mode doesn't hide the clocks. What you can try is to install the "Stylus" extension and load a User Style that hides the clocks.
