# Wait

> Pause execution between Computer Use actions

Use Wait to add timing gaps between UI actions when pages, dialogs, or app states need time to update.

## What it does

* Pauses execution for a given number of seconds.
* Accepts numeric values and enforces a valid range.

## Input

* `seconds` (required): positive number of seconds to pause (max 3600).

## Typical use

* Add a short wait after navigation.
* Pause after submit/click before reading context again.
* Stabilize multi-step flows where UI renders asynchronously.
