I did not mean to insult you.
I literally did the very thing I described–I didn’t use the dropdown, hoping I could avoid setting a time limit. It didn’t work.
I also thought it possible that, since you didn’t mention the dropdown, you didn’t see it, that it didn’t look like a dropdown in your theme, or that it didn’t appear due to scaling.
It’s just the way I deal with tech issues: point out the most basic thing first. You’d be surprised how often that fixes the problem. However, I apologize for not including a disclaimer, and allowing you to think I was trying to insult you. Such was not my intent.
