Post From: Cumulative delta bars - volume + countdown timer

I notice the same stall of the CountDown Timer.
The attached example chartbook/spreadsheet demonstrates this in Replay Chart.
An illiquid symbol and times of day were chosen to further exemplify.

The spreadsheet calculates the remaining seconds in a bar on a 1 min chart, and this is displayed with the Text Display for Study study.
This value only changes when the chart updates.

With the 'Display Continuous Time Countdown Based on Real-Time Clock' set to No, the countdown only updates when the chart updates.
With the 'Display Continuous Time Countdown Based on Real-Time Clock' set to Yes, the continuous countdown starts only when the chart updates in a new bar. Also, a new bar is not drawn until a chart update occurs, even though the countdown has reached 0.

I understand that this behavior might be by design, but it exists nonetheless.
