When I hit the submit button without answering the questions, it restarts the time again (so even if I hit the button at 20 seconds it restarts again from 45 seconds). However, the code works fine if I don't submit an answer within 45 seconds it then moves to next question.:

Attached code:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
    var questionId = this.getQuestionInfo().QuestionID;

    console.log(`Setting up question ${questionId}...`);

    // Hide the "No Response" option by applying CSS
    var css = `
        #QID8-5-label {
            display: none !important;
            visibility: hidden !important;
        }
        input#QR~QID8~5 {
            display: none !important;
            visibility: hidden !important;
            pointer-events: none !important;
        }
        labelsfor="QR~QID8~5"] {
            display: none !important;
            visibility: hidden !important;
        }
    `;
    jQuery("head").append("<style>" + css + "</style>");
    console.log("CSS to hide 'No Response' option applied.");

    // Track if the timer is cleared or if the question has moved forward
    var timerCleared = false;
    var questionCompleted = false;

    // Function to move to the next question
    function moveToNextQuestion() {
        if (!questionCompleted) {
            questionCompleted = true;
            console.log(`Moving to the next question from question ${questionId}.`);
            jQuery("#NextButton").click();
        }
    }

    // Start the timer for 45 seconds
    var timer = setTimeout(function() {
        if (!timerCleared) {
            var selected = jQuery("#" + questionId + " input=type='radio']:checked").length > 0;

            if (!selected) {
                console.log(`No option selected in question ${questionId}, moving to the next question.`);
                jQuery("#QID8-5-label").click(); // Optional click on "No Response"
                moveToNextQuestion();
            }
        }
    }, 45000); // 45 seconds

    console.log(`Timer started for 45 seconds for question ${questionId}.`);

    // Listen for any selection to clear the timer if an option is selected
    jQuery("#" + questionId + " input type='radio']").on('change', function() {
        if (!timerCleared) {
            clearTimeout(timer); // Clear the timer if an option is selected
            timerCleared = true; // Ensure the timer is not restarted
            console.log(`Timer cleared due to selection in question ${questionId}.`);
        }
    });

    // Cleanup event listeners and timer on question unload
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function() {
        clearTimeout(timer); // Ensure the timer is cleared on unload
        jQuery("#" + questionId + " inputetype='radio']").off('change');
        console.log(`Cleaned up for question ${questionId}.`);
    });
});
