Side effects

updateTiming() may cause any associated Animation to start or stop playing, if for example the effect of a running animation is shortened such that its end time is before Animation.currentTime or the effect of a finished animation is lengthened such that its end time is after Animation.currentTime.

js
const animation = document.body.animate([], { duration: 1000 });
animation.finish();
console.log(animation.playState); // finished
animation.effect.updateTiming({ duration: 2000 });
console.log(animation.playState); // running
