Questions about the Delete icon

›What happens if Delete is clicked again before it finishes?

No queue: every click restarts the 1.2 s run from the first frame. With reduced motion preferred, clicks still reach your onClick but the icon stays still.

›How do I make Delete an accessible button?

Put its events on a real button with the render prop: render={(events, icon) => <button aria-label="Delete" {...events}><span {...icon} /></button>}. The animation itself stays aria-hidden.

›Can Delete play on hover instead?

Yes: pass interaction="hover-replay". It then plays once on mouseenter unless reduced motion is preferred. Leaving does not stop it; entering during playback does not restart it.
