+This UI Action adds an admin-only button to Flow Context records in ServiceNow. It is designed to expire active timers within a flow, allowing developers and testers to bypass waiting stages during sub-production testing. This helps accelerate flow validation and debugging during development cycles, especially useful during events like Hacktoberfest.
+
+Flows in ServiceNow often include Wait for Condition or Wait for Duration steps that can delay testing. This UI Action provides a quick way to expire those timers, enabling the flow to proceed immediately without waiting for the configured duration or condition. Features
+
+Adds a button labeled "Expire Timers" to Flow Context records. Visible only to users with the admin role. Executes a script to expire all active timers associated with the selected Flow Context. Ideal for sub-production environments (e.g., development, test, or staging). Speeds up flow development and validation.
