Sounds like an [XY problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem). What is your goal?

Hi @peav ,  
usually you don’t wait until a specific time, but just stop the flow and write another flow that starts _When … At 2:20 PM Do something else_.  
If you do not want this to start every day, but only when before the other flow has ended with a specific state/property/result, you can either do it by _activate/deactivate_ or you use a binary (yes/no) variable **RundFlow2**.

- Flow 1:
  - WHEN trigger occurs
  - AND after 10PM OR before 6AM
  - THEN set variable “X happened” to true
  - ELSE do action

- Flow 2:
  - WHEN it’s 6AM
  - AND “X happened” is true
  - THEN do action
  - THEN set “X happened” to false
