+   * the Nextion display for various operations like updating the display, changing interface elements,
+   * or other interactive features. A larger queue size might indicate a higher processing time or potential
+   * delays in command execution. This function is useful for monitoring the command flow and managing
+   * the execution efficiency of the Nextion display interface.
+   *
+   * @return size_t The number of commands currently in the Nextion queue. This count includes all commands
+   *                that have been added to the queue and are awaiting processing.
