What it does

A countdown above the cart or checkout that, when it reaches zero, expires the cart server-side and releases the WooCommerce stock hold.

How it works

This is one of the six Asteris Cart wedges — a capability the WooCommerce ecosystem does not package cleanly. The mechanism is verifiable in the plugin source rather than only described here.

Code receipt: src/Checkout/Urgency_Timer.php::enforce_expiry() [CODE SNIPPET — CC to insert the relevant logic from src/ at build; must match shipping v1.0.]

The full reasoning is in the wedge essay: /why/urgency-that-expires.
