If you are experiencing a looped hover animation in Webflow that continues moving even after the mouse is moved out of the element, there are a few potential causes to consider. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you diagnose and fix the issue:

Check for conflicting interactions: If you have multiple interactions applied to the same element, make sure they are not conflicting with each other. Conflicting interactions can cause unexpected behavior, including animations that get stuck or continue even after the mouse is moved out of the element.
Verify interaction settings: Double-check the settings of your hover animation interaction. Make sure that the interaction is set to trigger on hover in both the hover in and hover out states. If the hover out interaction is not configured properly, it can cause the animation to continue even after the mouse is moved away.
Review animation timeline: Inspect the timeline of your hover animation to ensure that there are no additional keyframes or actions set up in the timeline that may be causing the animation to loop or continue beyond its intended duration. Removing any unwanted keyframes or actions can help resolve the issue.
Check for CSS conflicts: It is possible that there might be CSS conflicts on your page that are interfering with the hover animation behavior. Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the element and see if there are any conflicting CSS rules or styles applied to it. Resolve any conflicts by adjusting or removing conflicting CSS rules.
Test on different browsers: Sometimes, certain browser-specific issues can affect the behavior of animations. Test your hover animation on different browsers to see if the issue persists across all of them or if it is specific to a particular browser. If the issue is browser-specific, you may need to explore alternate solutions or workarounds.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the looped hover animation in Webflow. Don't forget to preview and publish your changes to see the updated behavior on your live site.
