How to disable "Completion time:..." in SQL Server Messages window

Problem

Every query I run in SSMS append the annoying message: "Completion time:...".

How can I disable that text?

Solution

In SSMS 18.3, they added the option to turn off the completion time.

Tools > Options > Query Execution > SQL Server > Advanced.

Uncheck the Show Completion Time checkbox.

Start a new query window and execute something...
No completion time after query finishes. Yay!
