+# Enforce or disallow explicit `delay` argument for `setTimeout()` and `setInterval()`
+
+💼 This rule is enabled in the following [configs](https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn#recommended-config): ✅ `recommended`, ☑️ `unopinionated`.
+
+🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the [`--fix` CLI option](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/command-line-interface#--fix).
+
+<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
+<!-- Do not manually modify this header. Run: `npm run fix:eslint-docs` -->
+
+When using [`setTimeout()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/setTimeout) or [`setInterval()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/setInterval), the `delay` parameter is optional and defaults to `0`. This rule allows you to enforce whether the `delay` argument should always be explicitly provided or omitted when it's `0`.
+
+This provides flexibility for different team preferences:
+
+- `"always"` (default): Require explicit `delay` argument for clarity
+- `"never"`: Disallow explicit `0` delay (prefer implicit default)
+
+## Examples
+
+### With `"always"` (default)
+
+```js
+// ❌
+setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'));
+setInterval(callback);
+window.setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'));
+globalThis.setInterval(callback);
+
+// ✅
+setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'), 0);
+setInterval(callback, 0);
+setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'), 1000);
+window.setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'), 0);
+globalThis.setInterval(callback, 100);
+```
+
+### With `"never"`
+
+```js
+// ❌
+setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'), 0);
+setInterval(callback, 0);
+window.setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'), 0);
+globalThis.setInterval(callback, 0);
+
+// ✅
+setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'));
+setInterval(callback);
+setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'), 1000);
+window.setTimeout(() => console.log('Hello'));
+globalThis.setInterval(callback, 100);
+```
+
+## Options
+
+Type: `string`
+
+Values: `"always"` (default) | `"never"`
+
+### `"always"`
+
+Requires an explicit `delay` argument for all `setTimeout()` and `setInterval()` calls.
+
+```json
+{
+	"unicorn/explicit-timer-delay": ["error", "always"]
+}
+```
+
+### `"never"`
+
+Disallows an explicit `delay` argument when it's `0`. Non-zero delays are still allowed.
+
+```json
+{
+	"unicorn/explicit-timer-delay": ["error", "never"]
+}
+```
