I want to disable a link for 10 seconds. If would do permanently I would use that approach when user click on it:

if ($('#report-download').hasClass("disabled")) {
   e.preventDefault();
}
$('#report-download').addClass("disabled");

How could I revert that after 10 seconds?

setTimeout(function(){ revertPreventDefalt(){
// This is my question
}; }, 10000);

Note: the setTimeout is not the point. The point here is how to revert the preventDefault().

just use a throttle function with a 10 second delay on it, see https://codeburst.io/throttling-and-debouncing-in-javascript-b01cad5c8edf – Gatsbill Oct 10 '18 at 14:48
