Can I pause my game during a competition and come back hours later and still have time remaining?

We already have an answer for a similar question which you can see here:
When playing comps, can I pause and return at a later stage?

If you have more answers to add you can do that below.

No, your timer will continue to run if you leave. When the time runs out, you will not be able to return. The only exception is during 20- or 24- marathon competitions, which are on hold indefinitely, last one held in May 2021.
