Research direction

Start with the driver.swipe() call shown in the issue and reproduce it using Appium v2.15.0 on Android Chrome with the listed ChromeDriver version. Trace how the final duration argument is handled; the work is done when a 5000ms swipe honors the requested duration or the limitation is clearly documented.

Description

appium version

Appium v2.15.0

chrome driver version

124.0.6367.207

when i test driver.swipe() on android chrome browser,as follows:

screen_size = driver.get_window_size()
width = screen_size['width']
height = screen_size['height']

print("screen size ",width, height)

fromX=width/2
fromY=height/2+100
endX=width/2+50
endY=100
driver.swipe(fromX,height,endX,0,5000)
endY-fromY=300

i set last argument duration to 5000ms (5 seconds),but the action finished quickly with no delay
