One of my students is trying to program an online survey where one of the pages is timed (a 2 minute countdown which auto-advances). Testing things out, I can get the timer to work fine in the preview (see screenshot below) but when I pilot or run it, it sits on the page without the timer & without autoadvancing once the time has passed.
The JSON for the affected block is below - any suggestions are much appreciated! Thank you!

I’m using version 2025.2.0. I already tried those recommendations in the post you shared - not requiring the response and making sure the timer is visible in the general survey doesn’t seem to help. I’ve also tried iterating on the settings - timing the page vs. timing the survey vs. both, changing the timer settings in the general survey settings and changing the timer settings just on the local page vs. both. It’s odd that the preview shows it working. This is happening on two of my computers on two networks as well as my student’s computer.
I’ve put a timer set to 15s per page on my survey, but when I pilot or run the experiment the timer doesn’t show and it doesn’t auto-advance to the next page. what can I do about this? Pavlovia Survey 2025.2.0
I have the same problem. I need to use a timer for some pages of my experiment. It works in the preview, but when i try to run or pilot my study, it doesn’t work anymore. How can I solve this?
