Jquery: Action after user finishes typing

Can anyone please help me to understand why I'm getting multiple alerts when I'm typing 3 to 4 characters simultaneously?

I'm trying to display an alert when the user has stopped typing for 250ms

Jquery code:

var time;
$('#uname').keyup(function() {
  clearTimeout(time);
  setTimeout(() => {
    alert(this.value);
  }, 250);
});

I understand that this question can seem to be similar to one of the previous questions, but I have tried that solution, and still not able to understand the error.

`time = setTimeout()` - forgot to set time value, so it's never reset – Justinas Feb 10 '21 at 12:53

@Frenchy I fail to see how you comment is useful, you should try explain the use what he either did wrong or why he should not do what he does. yelling `stop to infernal cadency` is as useful as yelling `you are doing it wrong.` – Carsten Løvbo Andersen Feb 10 '21 at 13:08
@CarstenLøvboAndersen i speak about question alert when user stops to type during 250ms (french humour with my english) – Frenchy Feb 10 '21 at 13:10
