+/// - Repeating timers will only be in the finished state on each tick `duration` is reached or

-/// Note that in order to advance the timer [`tick`](Timer::tick) **MUST** be called.
+/// You can pause a timer using [`Timer::pause`]. Paused timers will not have elapsed time increased.
+///
+/// # Elapsing multiple times a frame
+///
+/// Repeating timers might elapse multiple times per frame if the time is advanced by more than the timer duration.
+/// You can check how many times a timer elapsed each tick with [`Timer::times_finished_this_tick`].
+/// For non-repeating timers, this will always be 0 or 1.
