Hello,

I tested and reproduced the issue on MacCatalyst, please rise an issue at MAUI GitHub repo for further help.

can you please give here your sample code?

MainPage

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="ToolTipMacSample.MainPage">
 
    <ScrollView>
<VerticalStackLayout
            Padding="30,0"
            Spacing="25">
<Image
                Source="dotnet_bot.png"
                HeightRequest="185"
                Aspect="AspectFit"
                SemanticProperties.Description="dot net bot in a race car number eight" />
 
            <Label
                Text="Hello, World!"
                ToolTipProperties.Text="{Binding MyProperty}"
                Style="{StaticResource Headline}"
                SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level1" />
 
            <Label
                ToolTipProperties.Text="{Binding MyProperty}"
                Text="Welcome to &#10;.NET Multi-platform App UI"
                Style="{StaticResource SubHeadline}"
                SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level2"
                SemanticProperties.Description="Welcome to dot net Multi platform App U I" />
 
            <Button  ToolTipProperties.Text="{Binding MyProperty}"
                x:Name="CounterBtn"
                Text="Click me" 
                SemanticProperties.Hint="Counts the number of times you click"
                Clicked="OnCounterClicked"
                HorizontalOptions="Fill" />
</VerticalStackLayout>
</ScrollView>
 
</ContentPage>

Code behind

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
	public string MyProperty { get; set; } = "3333333";
 
	public MainPage()
	{
		InitializeComponent();
		this.BindingContext = this;
	}
 
	private void OnCounterClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		this.MyProperty = "555555";
	}
}

on MacOs the tooltip delay is system wide, and can be changed by the user via defaults (typically only done by an advanced users).
