Some Trainings give you a set amount of time to complete one or more steps. When a time limit starts, a countdown timer appears in your view. ## The Timer The timer shows the time left in minutes and seconds (for example, **00:45**) and counts down to **00:00**. It floats just above and to the right of the center of your view, and follows your head so it's always visible. The countdown timer showing 01:29 above the training scene The timer pauses whenever the Training is paused, for example while an alert is open. It keeps counting down while the Training loads a new scene. ## When Time Runs Out When the timer reaches **00:00**: * The Training pauses. * A red tint appears around the edges of your view, and an error sound plays. * An alert shows a message from the Training, with an **Okay** button. * **Next** is hidden and **Back** can't be pressed. You can't interact with training objects, and any step video pauses. The time-up alert with the timer at 00:00, an error message, an Okay button, and a red tint around the view Tap **Okay**. What happens next depends on how the Training is set up: | Setting | What happens | | - | - | | **Let user continue** | The Training carries on from where you are. The timer stays at 00:00. | | **Restart step** | The Training goes back to the step where the timer started, and the timer starts again from the full time. | | **Restart training** | The Training starts again from the beginning. | ## Resetting and Going Back * [Reset Step](/creator-studio/trainee-client/reset-step) keeps the time left when the step uses the same timer. It does not give you more time on that timer. * Going **Back** a step also keeps the time left on the same timer. Going back before that timer started removes it until you reach its starting step again. * **Restart Training** starts the Training over. Each timer starts at its full time when you reach the step that starts it. * Resuming a saved Training restores the timer's saved remaining time. The **Restart step** response to a time-up alert is different from Reset Step: it returns you to the step where the timer started and gives you the full time again. *** ## For Creators To add a time limit to a Training, see [Set Time Limit & Remove Time Limit](/creator-studio/creator-app/actions/set-remove-time-limit). ## Related * [Speed Tracking](/creator-studio/trainee-client/speed-tracking): uses the same alert and outcomes This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
