Clear console.time timer in node

In Nodejs, is there a way to clear a timer created by console.time without calling console.timeEnd?

For example, consider the following:

console.time("Timer for an asynchronous operation that may fail");

this.get(somethingToGet, function(err, value){
    if(!err && value != undefined){
        console.timeEnd("Timer for an asynchronous operation that may fail");
    } else {
        // clear the timer without printing to the console
    }
});

If there is no error I want to print the timer and label to the console, but if there is an error I want to clear it, so it doesn't run forever, without printing anything to the console.

You don't need to worry about that as there's nothing "running" about the timer. Calling console.time just records a start time for the label. See source.

If you look at the timeEnd implementation below it, you'll see that calling that doesn't even clear the entry to allow you to call timeEnd multiple times for the same label at different times.
