Prevent disabling by changing date and time

I'm sure lots of people here already know about this. There might be a few open issues addressing this. I still wanted to share in case I had a slightly different perspective and recommendations.

I can easily disable a block by going to settings, turning off automatic time and date, and selecting a date in the future where the block would be finished (maybe you don't don't have to do the last step exactly like that).

Just like many people here, I have very unreliable impulse control, so this app has been very helpful. However, it has been useless ever since I discovered this workaround.

A couple ideas:
Would it be possible for the timer in the app to be independent from time and date settings? Or maybe block those settings? Or are both of those ideas impossible? I would love to know!
