I sometimes get caught going over the time-limit when editing a comment such that I hit `<enter>` and get the following modal dialog: > topanswers.xyz says > > 403 Forbidden > ERROR: too late > CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function _error(integer,text) line 1 at RAISE > SQL function &quot;change&quot; statement 4 (yes, it had `"` instead of `"`) What would be really great would be a countdown timing indicating how much time is left before I am unable to submit an edit. This would show up in two places: 1. when hovering over the "edit" icon to the right of a recently posted comment, it shows a tool-tip / title saying only "edit". 1. when editing a comment, the shaded area just above the comment shows "editing, pinging someone \[x\]" In both places it would be extremely helpful to have something along the lines of the following to the right: > (m:ss left) This is less of an issue on StackExchange because there I can delete the no-longer-editable comment and re-post the new version of it. It only becomes a problem if there are any comments that follow and thus the comments would then be out of sequence. (_OR_, you can have per-person time limits on editing, and then set mine to an unreasonably large number :smile_cat: ) --- Yikes. I was just about to post this same request to Meta.StackExchange but figured I should do a quick search first, and found this: <https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/259456/display-countdown-timer-for-comment-editing> Pretty much the same request but that got 11 downvotes (I added an upvote so it shows -10 now). But yeah, tough crowd :-(
