Questions about the Cloud Lightning icon

›Why doesn't Cloud Lightning restart on every mouse enter?

A run that has started plays its 1.2 s to the end, so moving in and out quickly doesn't make it stutter; the next enter after that plays it again. Keyboard focus plays it as well; a tap on a touch screen does not.

›Is Cloud Lightning decorative?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Cloud Lightning" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

›Can Cloud Lightning play on click instead?

Yes: pass interaction="click-replay". It then replays once from the start on every click unless reduced motion is preferred.
