Are my pop-up timings respectful and effective on mobile?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm increasingly concerned about how my promotional pop-ups and countdown timers perform on mobile devices. Mobile traffic represents over 60% of my visitors, but I've noticed some potential user experience issues. The pop-ups sometimes feel intrusive, and I'm worried they might be frustrating potential customers or even causing them to abandon their shopping journey. I need guidance on creating mobile-friendly, respectful pop-up strategies that enhance conversion rates without compromising user experience.
