<p class="note">Since any content that does not meet this success criterion can interfere with a user's

<p class="note">Content that is updated periodically by software or that is streamed to the user agent
is not required to preserve or present information that is generated or received between
the initiation of the pause and resuming presentation, as this may not be technically
possible, and in many situations could be misleading to do so.

<p class="note">When auto-updating content was paused, it is not required
for any of the updates that happened while the content was paused to be presented
to the user once the content is un-paused again – as this may not be technically
possible, and in many situations could be confusing or misleading.</p>

<p class="note">An animation that occurs as part of a preload phase or similar situation can be considered
essential if interaction cannot occur during that phase for all users and if not indicating
progress could confuse users or cause them to think that content was frozen or broken.
