Now that it was mentioned, I agree that having some way of checking if this feature works (like a capability flag) is a better idea than changing the expected behaviour of the function.

Yes, I meant that progress bar.
I've had that 1s idle timer idea as well, unfortunately after writing this, but thank you for confirming that this would indeed work.
I will give that a try and if I can get RSIBreak to a working state on wayland submit a PR for it.
