Section 2.2: Enough Time
This section of WCAG 2.1 ensures that users have adequate time to read, use, and interact with content, particularly those who may need additional time due to disabilities.
2.2.1 Timing Adjustable
If a timed activity is included, users must have options to adjust, extend, or disable the timing unless the timing is essential or user safety is involved.
- Example: Below is a countdown timer that allows users to pause or extend the time:
