- Set Expectations: "This may take a few moments"
- Provide Context: "Importing 10,000 records..."
- Improve UX: Users understand what's happening instead of wondering
Message Timing Control

- Set duration for each message
- Show different messages as process progresses
- Create multi-stage loading experiences

Common Use Cases

Example: Multi-Stage Loading
For a report generation process, show:
- "Gathering data..." (3 seconds)
- "Calculating totals..." (3 seconds)
- "Formatting report..." (2 seconds)
- "Almost ready..." (remaining time)
This keeps users engaged and informed throughout the entire process.
