How to explain to the user why the button is disabled

I have to disable this table button if the payment is already paid. But that is it, the user just sees that can't click the button. If i try to add a tooltip, as is disabled, isn't shown.

->actions([
    Tables\Actions\Action::make('edit_expiration_date')
        ->disabled(function (Payment $record): bool {
            return $record->status === PaymentStatusEnum::Paid;
        })
        ->tooltip(function (Payment $record): ?string {
            if ($record->status === PaymentStatusEnum::Paid) {
                return __('The payment is already paid');
            }

            return null;
        })

->actions([
    Tables\Actions\Action::make('edit_expiration_date')
        ->disabled(function (Payment $record): bool {
            return $record->status === PaymentStatusEnum::Paid;
        })
        ->tooltip(function (Payment $record): ?string {
            if ($record->status === PaymentStatusEnum::Paid) {
                return __('The payment is already paid');
            }

            return null;
        })

So hmmm, how can i add a tooltip explaining why the button is not clickable to the user without letting them to click it???

Disabled buttons don’t emit js hover events so tooltip doesn’t know if it’s hovered or not. I would either not show the button or change the label to reflect the status as already paid.
