Fixed this by creating my own filter instead of using a plug-in.

add_filter( 'render_block', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if (!is_admin() && ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 'reading-time' === $block['attrs']['className']){
            $post = get_post();
            $content = $post->post_content;
            $wpm = 250; // How many words per minute.
            $clean_content = strip_shortcodes( $content );
            $clean_content = strip_tags( $clean_content );
            $word_count = str_word_count( $clean_content );
            $time = $word_count / $wpm;

      		if($time > 1) {
              $suffix = 'minutes';
            } else {
              $suffix = 'minute';
            }
      
      		if($time < 1) {
            	$time = '< 1';
            } else {
           		$time = ceil( $word_count / $wpm );
            }
      
            $block_content = '<span class="read-time">Reading time: ' . $time .' '. $suffix . '</span>';
    }
    
    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2 );
