Delay Node

Delay pauses execution for a specified duration.

Use it to enforce pacing, wait windows, and temporal coordination.

Configuration Fields

Field	Required	Purpose
Duration	Yes	Numeric delay value
Unit	Yes	Time unit (ms/s/min/hr)

Best Practices

• Keep delay usage intentional and documented.
• Avoid long blocking paths on high-volume flows.
• Combine with retry logic for external dependencies.

Common Issues

• Throughput drops from excessive delay usage.
• Unexpected latency in chained delay nodes.
