wait block in whatsapp

At a glance

A community member noticed that the wait block behaves differently in WhatsApp compared to web applications. While they set a 120-second timer, the message was sent after only 10 seconds.

Other community members clarified that this is expected behavior, as WhatsApp has a maximum wait time limit of 5 seconds. They advised that the wait block should not be used for message scheduling purposes on WhatsApp.

I need help to understand if this is a bug or if it is the default behavior of the wait block.

On the web the wait block works as expected, waiting the time in seconds that I set, but not on whatsapp.
I set a timer of 120 seconds, but the second message was sent in 10 seconds. You can check the time of the message.

It’s expected! Wait time is max 5s for WhatsApp. It should not be used to simulate message scheduling
