Sleep

Pauses the flow for a set duration, then continues. Reach for it to let an external system catch up—waiting out a rate limit, giving an asynchronous job time to land—before the next step reads the result.

Fields

Field	Description
Sleep For (ms)	How long to pause, in milliseconds. The form echoes the duration back in plain English, so a value with one zero too many is obvious before you save.

What later steps see

Nothing of its own. The step passes its incoming payload through unchanged, and later steps go on referencing earlier outputs exactly as they would without it.

Behaviour

While paused, the run holds without consuming resources, then resumes on its own. A pause draws nothing from the automation's execution budget, however long it lasts.

There is still a ceiling: a single run has a limit on its total wall-clock life. A sleep longer than that ceiling is flagged in the form, because the run would always time out at this node rather than continuing.
