According to the [[Twelfth Doctor]], there is a period of time that he calls "a state of grace" when a dying Time Lord can resist regeneration for a period of time without consequence where they are restored to full strength. During this period of time, the Time Lord must choose whether or not they will ultimately regenerate and start to grow weaker as time passes by. At the end of this period of time, the Time Lord must regenerate or die permanently.

When severely injured by a Cyberman, the Twelfth Doctor was able resist regeneration for several weeks despite struggling to walk. He further resisted it despite being on the brink of death when surrounded and blasted by numerous Cybermen, buying himself time to ignite [[Floor 0507]]. However, he struggled to hold it off when revived in the TARDIS very nearly regenerating completely. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') The Twelfth Doctor encountered the [[First Doctor]] at this time who was also in a state of grace, holding back his regeneration as he feared regenerating. At the end of their period of time, both Doctors chose to regenerate. Similar to the Tenth Doctor's regeneration, the Twelfth Doctor regenerated explosively, causing the control room in the TARDIS to explode.
