Hell no
Why pausing the clock when going to the toilet should be allowed...

It looks like you mainly play bullet and blitz.
Perhaps you should consider playing daily chess games. You would have all the time you need.

I had this OTB game where the toilets were SO FAR AWAY from the tourney hall
I was desperate to go to the toilet but I only had 5 mins left on my clock. My opponent had 45 mins or smth
Whenever I moved I tried to make a run to the toilet but then I'd look back and see my opponent moved instantly as soon as I stood up. So I ended up having to play that rest of the game while desperate to pee 😑
Couldn't you have called for an adjournment?

not sure if that'll work
It will if it's the right size.
Btw, if an apartment/house isn't large the chess.com's voice control feature might help

If this feature did exist, it would be abused so quickly, stalling strategizing, you name it. Why punish stallling when you can make it easier with this feature. My proposal: HOLD IT, a chess game isnt super long, OR take it with you to the bathroom

This button should not be introduced. People could just pause their clock to have more time to think when they are not using the toilet. Because how are you supposed to prove you are using the toilet
