Hi folks! Is there a way to “Sleep” less than one full second? I need to throttle my flow but 1 second is overkill, I only need 100ms. Thanks! ---

Unfortunately there is not a way to do this using the Tools/Sleep module. ---

I bet you can chain a few HTTP requests to a public API that returns some tiny amount of data, that will “simulate” a No-operation that will take less than 1 second. ---

I have a solution for you! > [@fire Introducing the free Nap App, a microsleep module for delays in milliseconds!](https://community.make.com/t/introducing-nap-a-microsleep-module-for-delays-in-milliseconds/54640): > > Hi all, At a certain point, any Maker comes across a workflow where a sleep module is needed that delays execution for less than a second. The default Sleep module only accepts a delay in seconds, so I have created Nap, a free App that accepts milliseconds! You can install the Nap App in your Organization via this link: [https://www.make.com/en/hq/app-invitation/ac581e6409eebb517c95f3d8f4555524](https://www.make.com/en/hq/app-invitation/ac581e6409eebb517c95f3d8f4555524) How does it work?

Great find! You decided to solve this problem yourself with a custom app – great initatitve! I hope they will update the Sleep module to support ms at some point. ---
