You can use a math column to generate a datetime that is some period in the future, and then use visibility conditions to hide/show components by comparing that timestamp to the current time.

Note that you would need an action to set the initial value - a button press or something similar.

For example, if you wanted to hide a component after 5 minutes have elapsed:

- Create a math column using the following formula: `Now + 5/1440`
- Use an action to apply that value to a user specific datetime column
- Create an if-then-else column:  
– If user specific column is empty, then true  
– If user specific column is before Now, then null  
– Else true
- Set your component visibility such that the component is visible when the if-then-else column is checked.
