time budget

RU: бюджет времени

A time budget is a maximum allowed execution time assigned to a task, request, or rendering phase. In web performance, the browser frame budget (roughly 16 ms at 60 Hz) constrains how much JavaScript, style recalculation, and layout work can run without causing a dropped frame. In algorithm analysis, a time budget defines an acceptable worst-case bound that guides the choice of algorithm or data structure.
