              Timer is Expired Text
              The text to be displayed when the countdown expires.

            Configure the Display Text Format

            The display format of the countdown timer is a string that can contain these substitutions:

            Variable Substitutions  
            %D = number of days
            %H = number of hours (0 - XX)
            %HH = number of hours (00 - XX)
            %M = number of minutes (0 - XX)
            %MM = number of minutes (00 - XX)
            %S = number of seconds (0 - XX)
            %SS = number of seconds (00 - XX)
            %DL[plural,singular] = day / days
            %HL[plural,singular] = hours / hour
            %ML[plural,singular] = minute / minutes
            %SL[plural,singular] = second / seconds
            %XX = only show the highest granularity label definition
            Example 1: Countdown Clock
            Example 1: Countdown Clock

            Display text format: %HH:%MM:%SS

            The countdown clock is the default behavior if no display text format is specified. The clock is updated each second and shows the number of hours, minutes, and seconds remaining. A countdown clock on the a bag of the week offer.

            Example 2: Show Highest Timeframe Only

            Display text format: Only %XX %DL[days,day]%HL[hours,hour]%ML[minutes,minute]%SL[seconds,second] left

            In this use case, the goal is to show the number of days remaining until there is less than one day. Then the number of hours will show until there is less than one hour. Finally, the number of minutes and seconds will be shown until the expiration date is reached. A countdown timer on a bag of the week offer showing the remaining time in days.

            Expired Timer Behavior

            After the expiration date has passed, if a "Timer is Expired Text" has been configured, then this text string will be shown. Otherwise, the timer will be removed from the UI. Note that in the CMS, "Timer Expired" will be shown so that the user knows that the cell was configured as a timer.
