cooldown timer

Skill recharge indicator

A cooldown timer is a countdown that must complete before an action can be performed again.

Common in video games, where abilities or attacks become temporarily unavailable after use: The healing spell has a thirty-second cooldown timer.

The concept extends to apps and systems that enforce waiting periods between repeated actions.
