Summary

You can prematurely cause the timer to end by manually advancing your system clock via system settings.

Background Info

SelfControl version? macOS 10.15.7

Do you use a VPN/proxy, and if so which one? Has this ever worked for you on a prior version of SelfControl? If so, when? Any other special system setup we should know about?

How Do We Reproduce This Issue?

Set the timer for X hours and start the timer. Go to System Preferences > Date and Time > hit the lock to make changes > uncheck the box that says "Set date and time automatically" > advance the time by X hours.
