CooldownCount
This addon displays a large yellow number (and text for numbers > 60 seconds) on spell icons for action bars, bags, character sheet, and quest icons in the tracker. Font can be modified, and the cut-off for how long a cooldown needs to be in order to display on the button can also be changed. The number begins flashing when time remaining is less than 10 seconds.
This is an update for WoW >= 3.3.5 compatibility since 4.0's new API nuked some of the code here. The original addon was created by hshh and the compatibility has been fixed by TheCheat5 and Kiki.
Additional Note: Tested and confirmed working after dependency update for Patch 6.0.2
- updated by DigitalSorceress
Enjoy!

Posted Jan 30, 2026I dont get errors but the the cooldowns now just disappear completely when in combat of any kind... If i enable the blizz action bard cds, they show the timer on the bars. And once you leave combat the cooldowncount returns per normal. But no bugsack errors showing, just not functional in combat.

You should see cooldowns while in combat, just not CooldownCount specials cooldowns (color, size). You should see the cooldowns from Blizzard instead.
There is nothing that can be done now, due to blizzard restrictions in combat.

Interesting, I played quite a bit with this version and didn't get any errors. Can you try to nail down a bit what you were doing and if you have other addons enabled, try without them to make sure it doesn't collide. Thanks

Posted Jan 29, 2026In reply to dakikifr: Hmm..I just extracted the addon as usual and turn it on and everything the normal things that people do...Then, when i start to hit mobs...the message popped out like," There are too many errors in your ui..." There were no error coming from other addons that i`m using even before this CooldownCount being enabled..

Hi,
Thank you for the detailed report, I finally managed to understand and fix the crash.
I never saw this because I never had items with cooldowns in my bags.
