WidgetKit is great, and I really loves it. I'm just trying to add a count down timer on my widget, but I realize it won't stop. As it is said in the documentation:

For dates in the future, the timer style counts down until the current time reaches the specified date and time, and counts up when the date passes.

I need timer to count down only. Can I stop the time at 0:00 when time reaches the specified date?

I may use timeline to refresh view, but the timeline won't be able to stop the timer when I set a 3 min count down, since timeline does not support refresh at that high frequency.

Since iOS 16, it is now possible to stop at 0 by setting the 'countsDown' argument of Text to true.
