How to hide next button until questions are answered OR certain time has passed?

Hi,
My panel respondents get paid for each survey, and there is a small group who is skipping every question. I can't force responses and the request response option barely slows them down.
I know it is possible to hide or disable the next button for specific amount of time, but I want to set it up so that the button is disabled until the respondent answers all of the questions on the page OR until a certain amount of time has passed. Is there a fairly straightforward way to do this?
I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi!
I couldn't find anything in the documentation about hiding the next button until a respondant answers a question, however, I found some information about creating timed questions.
Please check out th support page

You can use this.disableNextButton() and/or this.disableNextButton() to disable/hide at then this.enableNextButton() and/or this.showNextButton() at the end to enable/show. JS to determine if questions are answered would depend on the number and type of questions on the page. So, this approach can get very complicated.
It is almost always possible to make questions force response by adding appropriate answer options (e.g., None of the above, Prefer not to answer, etc.). This is a much easier solution. If respondents are paid it is not too much to ask for them to answer the questions.
