How to hypenate this compound adjective?

English Language & Usage Asked on April 14, 2021

I have this as a sentence:

These still commonly used phrases have retained their meaning over time.

Should ‘still commonly used’ be hyphenated or not? As in:

These still-commonly-used phrases have retained their meaning over time.

Obviously, if it wasn’t used as an adjective, I would write:

Over time, these phrases are still commonly used.
