I think std::thread::sleep(...) is not the right use case here.

    just found [tokio_timer](https://docs.rs/tokio-timer/0.3.0-alpha.5/tokio_timer/index.html). Maybe that's what I'm looking for – nomad Jul 20 '20 at 11:18
  • If you are using aync-std, it would be [`async_std::task::sleep()`](https://docs.rs/async-std/1.6.2/async_std/task/fn.sleep.html) instead. – Sven Marnach Jul 20 '20 at 11:20
  • i'm using tokio and found this: `tokio::time::delay_for(tokio::time::Duration::from_millis(WAIT_TIME_INTERVAL_MS));` I think that's it. – nomad Jul 20 '20 at 11:21
  • *`std::thread::sleep(...)` is not the right use case* — You are completely correct. See [Why does Future::select choose the future with a longer sleep period first?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/48735952/155423) – Shepmaster Jul 20 '20 at 14:32
  • yep, thanks @Shepmaster – nomad Jul 20 '20 at 14:36

Using the tokio crate, there exists this function

tokio::time::delay_for(tokio::time::Duration::from_millis(WAIT_TIME_INTERVAL_MS));

That actually waits for Duration with any execution.
