As a rule of thumb, UI animations should generally stay under 300ms.

Android designers should follow this, I always have to enable developer mode and toggle animation speeds to 0.5x or disable it entirely because the default is annoyingly slow.

And this has been a dev setting for over a decade, it wouldn't hurt them to make animation speed selection available to users without this silly dev mode hoop.
