Can I test multiple timer elements?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm curious about implementing multiple countdown timer elements across different sections of my online store. I want to understand if it's possible to create synchronized or independent timers that can drive urgency and conversion without overwhelming my customers. Are there technical limitations or best practices for deploying multiple timer elements effectively?
