    It’s definitely a lot shorter than 3 seconds. I took some screen grabs from one of my old videos.

    The first image is taken immediately after I hit overboost. My first two items have cooled about 1/16th, and if you look at the clock it says 3:24.

    The second image is a few moments later. My items are now at 14/16ths, and the clock says 3:23

    Since the two images cant be more than 1.999... seconds apart (according to the clock), we can conclude that the items cool ‘at least’ 13/16ths in 2 seconds.

    Which would make the cool down 16(2/13) = 2.46 seconds.

    So best guess is between 2.3 and 2.5 seconds.

    Instead of having Tesla Bolt cause a complete lockout (stun) for X sec (where X increases with T.Bolt lvl), and then for that stun to be completely canceled at the first whisper of damage (which has been expressed as a frustration)....

    I would rather see Tesla Bolt functionality change to increase the GCD from 2.5 sec to ~4.0 sec (for example) for Y sec (where Y would be maybe 12~24 sec, increasing with T.Bolt lvl). Then you could get rid of the silly 'cancel-upon-damage' mechanic!

    (Obviously you'd need plenty of play-testing to balance all the numbers and cooldowns of everything........)
