Meaning

An hourglass with sand still flowing from the upper bulb to the lower one, indicating that time remains before something finishes. It commonly conveys waiting, a countdown, or that a process is still in progress and not yet complete. It often appears in contexts of deadlines, loading, patience, or anticipation. It can also suggest that time is running out. Usage varies: it may signal literal timing or a general sense of delay, so intent is often clarified by surrounding text.
