[FeatureRequest] Advanced flow delay by numeric variable

Not 100% true, in case of malfunctions, Wim.

A crash/powerdown/restart doesn’t only interupt the countdown, it even resets it. Flows you’d expect to continue, don’t continue.
For me a reason to never use those delays longer than a few seconds. It even shouldn’t provide for minutes as unit.

Another downside of wait cards: when still counting down and triggered again, it can be started in parallels without any visual indicator. It’s a black box.

I’d rather use Chronograph timers, because they can either get restarted or resumed after new triggers while counting up (Chronograph counts towards a timestamp, which makes it survive restarts ánd still apply the duration correctly).

And, as you know alr, it takes numeric variables or even tags as value.
