No control mechanism provided for automatically updating content

Rule

A method MUST be provided to pause, stop, or hide any automatically updating content, or to manually control the timing of the updates.

Background

Content that auto-updates - such as auto-advancing presentations and messages, and carousels, weather information, news, and stock prices - can be problematic for people who have trouble reading text quickly, people who have attention deficit disorders or other cognitive disabilities, and screen reader users. Auto-updating information must have an accessible mechanism to pause, stop, or hide it, or to control the timing of the updates. The ability to control auto-updating content allows people to consume information in a way that best suits their needs.

How to Fix

Fix this issue by providing an accessible mechanism to pause or hide the auto updating content or to control the frequency with which content is updated.
