Added by iNTERFACEWARE
Use util.sleep() to pause code execution for the specified number of milliseconds
Source Code
-- pause code for 0.1 seconds util.sleep(100) -- pause code for 1 seconds util.sleep(1000) -- pause code for 5 seconds util.sleep(5000)
Description
Use util.sleep() to pause code execution for the specified number of milliseconds
Usage Details
Use util.sleep()
to pause code execution for the specified number of milliseconds. This can be useful for throttling performance during peak hours, pausing between retrying slow/intermittent resources, or perhaps for simulating heavy loads during testing.
How to use the snippet:
- Paste the code into your script
Note: We supply modules specifically for retrying and throttling, see the links below.
