Modify a variable automatically in the C# console

Question

I'm trying to modify a variable in the console automatically without modifying the rest of the text. To do this I've already tried to make an infinite loop that erases the console and notices all the lines but it creates a fluidity problem so I'm looking for a way to modify only the variables without touching the rest of the console.

int total = 10000;
int remaining = remaining - total;

Console.WriteLine("Remaining : " + remaining"); <---- Here I want to modify the remaining variable without having to clear the console

You can overwrite the console buffer on that said position:

using System;

            var numberVariable = 1;
            var text = "Hello World Times " + numberVariable;
            while (true)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(500);
                //writes the text into 0|0
                Console.WriteLine(text);
//LOOPBEGIN
//The cursor is now on 0|1
//Console.WriteLine advances the cursor to the next line so we need to set it to the previous line
//Ether by:
//Console.SetCursorPosition(0 /**Column 0**/, Console.CursorTop - 1);
//or by
                Console.CursorTop = Console.CursorTop - 1;
                Console.CursorLeft = 0;
//The cursor is now again on 0|0
                numberVariable = numberVariable + 1;
//increment the variable
                text = "Hello World Times " + numberVariable;
//ether set the text variable again or use a new variable
            }
