Can a breath weapon be used as a bonus action?

In standard D&D 5e, a Dragonborn's Breath Weapon usually costs an Action, but new versions (like Fizban's Treasury of Dragons) allow it to replace one attack during the Attack action, making it effectively faster and usable with Extra Attack, while the spell Dragon's Breath (a bonus action to cast) is different and grants an action to use the breath later. So, generally it's an Action, but specific rules (Fizban's Dragonborn) or spells can make it a bonus action or integrate it into the Attack action for more flexibility.
