This allows Timers to be configured to emit the `timeout` signal multiple times per process or physics tick. This is useful for timers with a low wait time (< 0.05 seconds), or to ensure they stick closer to real time when framerate is highly variable. Keep in mind that high values will allow the function to be called dozens of times or more in a single frame, which can have a performance impact if the method connected to the `timeout` signal is slow.

This is useful for timers with a low wait time (< 0.05 seconds), or to ensure they stick closer to real time when framerate is highly variable.Keep in mind that high values will allow the function to be called dozens of times or more in a single frame, which can have a performance impact if the method connected to the
timeoutsignal is slow.The default value is
1to preserve existing behavior. We could perhaps consider increasing this to8(to match the default Max Physics Steps per Frame project setting value) to improve out-of-the-box Timer usability at low wait times, but this will change behavior in some projects.Testing project: test_timer_maximum_timeouts_per_tick.zip
