R plotly disable default hovertext and only display customized text

Question

I am struggling to disable the default hovertext. I have added custom hovertext but the default is still showing besides the custom text. I have tried hoverinfo = 'none' and hoverinfo = ''. In the screenshot above the arrow points to the default hover text. Is there a way to disable that text?

Here is my code:

temp <- structure(list(therapy_class = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 
1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L,

7L, 7L, 7L, 7L, 7L, 8L, 8L, 8L, 8L, 8L, 8L), .Label = c("ALK Inhibitors", 
"Anti-VEGF-based therapies", "EGFR TKIs", "Non-Platinum-based", 
"PD-1/PD-L1-based therapies", "Platinum-based", "Single agent chemotherapies", 
"Other"), class = c("ordered", "factor")), Year_month = c("Jul 2020",

-48L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

    plot_ly(
    data = temp,
    y = ~value,
    x = ~Year_month,
    color = ~therapy_class
) %>%
    add_lines(
              hovertemplate = paste(temp$therapy_class,
                                    "<br>Count:", temp$count,
                                    "<br>PCT:", sprintf("%1.2f%%", 100*temp$value))) %>%
    layout(
        yaxis = list(
            tickformat = "%",
            title = ""
        ),
        xaxis = list(title = ""),
        legend = list(
            orientation = "h", yanchor = "bottom", y = -0.5,
            font = list(size = 10)
        )
    )

@YBS The info I want to show is inside the green box, the 3 lines. Outside the box it again shows the therapy class. The screenshot has the arrow pointed to the line I don't want to show. — sutsabs

plot_ly(
    data = temp,
    y = ~value,
    x = ~Year_month,
    color = ~therapy_class,
    name = ""
)

Needed to pass name parameter as "". It was using the default and using that in hover info.
