    Use a progress message to inform a user that a process has started.

    Try to be explicit about what’s starting the process, or what the process is.

    If appropriate, use a verb ending in -ing to describe what the process is that’s starting.

    For example:

    App Services is pausing Log Streaming.

    Avoid Specific Time Estimates

    Never tell the user a specific time estimate for a process.

    Use a phrase like "This process might take several minutes to complete."
