I also realize that my reply to Jeff [here](https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/13991#discussion_r1262824134) was poorly written. I should have been sharper on this one in order to reduce the confusion. Let me try to re-explain how this works in order to reduce the confusion here. As Jeff said, the time is not necessarily advanced by 200ms every time the thread ticks. The 200ms is used to wait on the delayed queue which contains the buckets managed by the timing wheel. This means that it waits maximum 200ms for a bucket to expire or return. When a bucket expires, the time of the timing wheel is advanced to the expiration time of the bucket and all the timer tasks in that bucket are handled. Note that handled here does not mean expired because the bucket could be from the "overflow wheel". In this case, they may have to be added back to the current timing wheel or expired. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
