Clear the console every 30s

Question

How do I clean the console every 30s every time? I tried to create with timer but it didn’t work, or I must have done wrong. Follows the code:

    var time = new Timer(LimparConsole,null,0,30000);

public static void LimparConsole (object sender){

Console.Clear();
}

As the console runs in the Main method, which in turn is a static method, I believe the output is to use another Thread.

In the code below, I create a Thread "t" that will wait 10 seconds, and then clears the console.

After Thread is created, it follows normal system processing.

class Program
{
    static int loop = 0;
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        bool aplicacaoRodando = true;

       Thread t = new Thread(()=>{

           while (aplicacaoRodando)
           {
               Thread.Sleep(10000);
               Console.Clear();
               loop = 0;
           }

        });

       t.Start();

       while (aplicacaoRodando)
       {
           Thread.Sleep(1000);
           loop++;
           Console.WriteLine("Tá rodando a aplicação..." + loop);
       }

    }
}

ps. I put the range of 10,000 ms only to exemplify and make the test faster. Just change the Thread.Sleep(10000); for the desired range.
