Dynamic user interface control for efficient and controlled ordering

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by processor circuitry and memory of a computing device, causes the computing device to perform operations that:

• output a user interface button in a screen of a software graphical user interface, the user interface button provided in an enabled state to receive a first interaction from a user;
• detect the first interaction from the user via the user interface button, wherein the first interaction from the user provides a first request to initiate a commerce action with a constrained item;
• calculate a delay time period to delay the commerce action with the constrained item, wherein the delay time period is uniquely calculated for the user;
• in response to receipt of the first interaction from the user, output a presentation of a descriptive overlay message on the screen, wherein the presentation of the descriptive overlay message is provided during the delay time period;
• detect a second interaction from the user, outside of the presentation of the descriptive overlay message on the screen, wherein the second interaction from the user provides a second request to initiate the commerce action with the constrained item;
• calculate an updated delay time period that extends the delay time period to delay the commerce action with the constrained item;
• and
• enforce the updated delay time period to prevent the commerce action with the constrained item until expiration of the updated delay time period, wherein the presentation of the descriptive overlay message continues during the updated delay time period.

A computer system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to perform operations that:
• provide a user interface button in a screen of a software graphical user interface, the user interface button provided in an enabled state to receive a first interaction from a user;
• receive the first interaction from the user via the user interface button, wherein the first interaction from the user provides a first request to initiate a commerce action with a constrained item;
• calculate a delay time period to delay the commerce action with the constrained item, wherein the delay time period is uniquely calculated for the user;
• in response to receipt of the first interaction from the user, provide a presentation of a descriptive overlay message on the screen, wherein the presentation of the descriptive overlay message is provided during the delay time period;
• receive a second interaction from the user, outside of the presentation of the descriptive overlay message on the screen, wherein the second interaction from the user provides a second request to initiate the commerce action with the constrained item;
• calculate an updated delay time period that extends the delay time period to delay the commerce action with the constrained item;
• and
• enforce the updated delay time period to prevent the commerce action with the constrained item until expiration of the updated delay time period, wherein the presentation of the descriptive overlay message continues during the updated delay time period.
