The repeatCount attribute indicates the number of times an animation will take place.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
<svg viewBox="0 0 220 150" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100">
<animate
attributeType="XML"
attributeName="y"
from="0"
to="50"
dur="1s"
repeatCount="5" />
</rect>
<rect x="120" y="0" width="100" height="100">
<animate
attributeType="XML"
attributeName="y"
from="0"
to="50"
dur="1s"
repeatCount="indefinite" />
</rect>
</svg>
