Tooltips need a delay, and then they need to skip it

The article explains a UX pattern for tooltips that balances responsiveness with reducing visual clutter. The solution implements an initial 200ms delay before showing a tooltip, but then skips the delay for subsequent tooltips if you hover over multiple elements within a 300ms "warm window"—returning to the standard delay after the window expires. This pattern, common in browser toolbars and websites, improves the experience when hovering over multiple logos or similar grouped elements by eliminating the sluggish feeling of repeated delays.
