The only accurate way of doing that is a job time elapsed DRO. 

Estimated run times are just that. For instance, Mach estimated run
times are reasonably accurately, but do not take into account tool
changes. It does it by actually running the file at approx 150x speed
with no output. 

The time elapsed DRO is accurate, if you pause the job, or are manual
tool changing it continues to count, it does not stop unless you command
a stop or an M30. It keeps the time displayed until you run a file again
or restart Mach.
