Wait

Delays each record by a fixed number of milliseconds, then passes it on unchanged. Use it for simple pauses between steps or crude rate limiting.

Pins

Pin	Kind	Types	Description
Input	input	any	Record to delay.
Output	output	same as input	The same record and metadata after the wait.

Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
WaitTimeMs	integer	1000	Wait time in milliseconds (positive; intended maximum 86400000 = 24 h).

Behaviour

• Blocks the calling thread for WaitTimeMs (thread sleep), then calls Output synchronously.
• Each record waits independently; parallel records wait in parallel on their own threads.

Notes

• The wait cannot be interrupted: stopping the flow does not end a running wait early (the record is not passed on if the flow has stopped meanwhile).
• The blocked thread is not available for other work; avoid long waits for many parallel records. For periodic work use a Timer, for retries the Retry component.
• The maximum is not enforced by the editor. 0 passes the record on immediately; negative values make the component fail.

Example

{ "WaitTimeMs": 500 }
