"2.2.1 Timing Adjustable" reads "For each time limit that is set by the content,". "2.2.3 No Timing" reads "Timing is not an essential part of the event or activity presented by the content".

And then, in "Understanding SC 2.2.3", it reads "This differs from the Level A Success Criterion in that the only exception is for real-time events." in the section of "Intent of this Success Criterion".

Is there any difference between "Time limit" and "Timing"? I'd like to know the reason why "Timing" is used in SC 2.2.3 rather than "Time limit".; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes:; Resolution: The term Timing was used because it is the more general term. The term Timing can be used to indicate a time limit, and this is what SC 2.2.1 is directly addressing, but it can also be used to refer to a situation where user activities are timed and the information is used to evaluate the outcome, for example in the case of an online test where the user is evaluated not only on the accuracy of their answers but also on the time required to complete the test. In this case there is no time limit that prevents the user from completing the activity (which would be covered by 2.2.1) but the timing is an essential part of the activity In general, for SC 2.2.1 we meant to limit “timing” to just a simple time out on an activity which prevents users from completing an activity beyond a certain period of time. In SC 2.2.3 we refer to the broader issue of timing beyond time limits. As a result, the two SC use the term “Timing” in their titles to indicate their relation to each other, but SC 2.2.1 refers only to time limits.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
