## FAQ

### Does the Loading V2 animation ever stop?

It pauses by itself while scrolled out of view and stays on its first frame when reduced motion is preferred or autoplay={false} is set. That first frame is empty for this icon, so keep a text label such as "Loading…" next to it. To show it only while something is pending, render it conditionally.

### How do screen readers announce the Loading V2 loader?

They don't unless you pass aria-label="Loading…", which gives it role="img". Often better: keep it hidden and set aria-busy="true" on the region that is loading.

### Can Loading V2 loop only while hovered instead?

Yes: pass interaction="hover-loop". It then loops while hovered, finishes the current cycle after mouseleave and stays static when reduced motion is preferred.
