Hi Angela, It's an overlay banner that would be visible to user on all devices. The role alert advise the screen reader user and the aria-label tells screen reader user that the message disappears in 5 seconds.

Depending on the size of the device and whether necessary scrolling limits the view, would even a sighted user see it? 5 seconds seems pretty short to me.
