When numlock is on, and indicator-caps-lock is active in swaylock, the clock disappears.

So, I assume you mean caps lock and not numlock, because numlock dosn't seem to affect anything.

The reason this happens is that, when caps lock is enabled, it writes the text "caps lock" instead of the clock, but your text-caps-lock-color is 009ddc00; that's transparent, since the alpha (last two characters) is 00.

If you actually want to not show the caps lock text, the proper way to do that is to add disable-caps-lock-text.

(Note that if you just add disable-caps-lock-text to your current config, the clock will also disappear when caps lock is active, because the clock will use text-caps-lock-color when caps lock is active and text-caps-lock-color is transparent.)

I have the brain wiring of a goldfish. Of course, it is caps lock :man_facepalming:

Closing as it's not an actual issue.
