How to prevent triggering 'SizeChangedFcn' callback too many times?

When I plot a figure and resize it manually (by clicking and dragging its window) I am triggering the SizeChangedFcn callback too many times.
In my application, it doesn't cause any time processing issues, but I was curious about how to avoid such behaviour if needed.
For my specific case, it would be enough if the event was triggered just when I release the mouse button after resize the figure window.
Here is my MWE to show how many times the event is being triggered:
clc; close all;
figure('SizeChangedFcn',@figureCallback)
function figureCallback(~,~)
disp('ok')
end

i was more thinking about a timer object. In the follwing example the plot data is changed after 2 seconds after stopping changing the window size
updateDelay=2;
yourTimer=timer("StartDelay",updateDelay,'ExecutionMode','singleShot');
close all;
figure()
plot(rand(5));
ax=gca;
set(yourTimer,"TimerFcn",@(~,~)writeDataToWindow(ax));
set(gcf,'SizeChangedFcn',@(~,~)figureCallback(yourTimer));
function []=writeDataToWindow(ax)
plot(ax,rand(5));
end
function figureCallback(yourTimer)
% restart timer repeatedly when window size is changed
stop(yourTimer);
start(yourTimer);
end

OK Thanks what leads me to the errir is this sentense in the Answer:
"One solution is to ignore the built-in resize methods and use a specific WindowsButtonDownFcn to emulate a resizing"
