 Returns the number of fake timers still left to run.
 
-### `.jest.setSystemTime()`
-
-Set the current system time used by fake timers. Simulates a user changing the system clock while your program is running. It affects the current time but it does not in itself cause e.g. timers to fire; they will fire exactly as they would have done without the call to `jest.setSystemTime()`.
-
-### `.jest.getRealSystemTime()`
-
-When mocking time, `Date.now()` will also be mocked. If you for some reason need access to the real current time, you can invoke this function.
