2.2 Enough Time · Operable
WCAG 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable
Level A
When a time limit is part of the interface, the user must be able to turn it off, adjust it, or extend it (with at least 10× the default and 20-second warning), unless it's an essential real-time event.
Common failures
- Session timeouts log users out without warning.
- Quizzes with hard time limits have no extension option.
How to fix
- Warn users 20+ seconds before a session times out and offer to extend.
- Allow users to disable or extend non-essential timers.
