# Pause with the Wait node in Duaer

In Duaer, Wait defaults to Resume After Time Interval. On the current version, Wait Amount defaults to 5 and Wait Unit defaults to Seconds.
## Wait for a time interval

1. Search for Wait and connect it after the previous node.
2. Leave Resume on After Time Interval.
3. Wait Amount defaults to 5. Wait Unit defaults to Seconds. Change them as needed.
4. Select Execute step. The run pauses, then continues when the interval ends.

Resume can also be At Specified Time (set Date and Time), On Webhook Call, or On Form Submitted.

Webhook and form resume support Limit Wait Time. Refer to [Pause a Duaer execution with Wait](/flow-logic/waiting.md).
## Questions

### Does Wait in Duaer really sleep for hours during a test run?

It waits according to Resume. For a local try, shorten Wait Amount or keep the unit on Seconds.
