Is their a way to delay the mainloop without having to stop the whole process with time.sleep?

Question

Ive been messing around with get_ticks() and its been working sort of well besides the fact that i cant;

Stop and reset the var = var - tick counter
I cant do if var >= tick + 10 anyone know how to stop the variable or count ahead for it? im trying to add events that trigger after a set time Heres my code if it helps

import pygame, random, time
import pygame_textinput
import prompts

pygame.init()
textinput = pygame_textinput.TextInputVisualizer()

display = pygame.display.set_mode((575, 375))
pygame.display.set_caption("Game")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

pygame.key.set_repeat(200, 25)

room = pygame.image.load("assets/images/room.png")
stick = pygame.image.load("assets/images/sticky.png")
dark = pygame.image.load("assets/images/dark.png")

    ##Problem area

      counter = Wmove - timer
      if counter <= 0:

    if outage == True:
      q = False
      flash = False
    
    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

Is their a way to delay the mainloop without having to stop the whole process with time.sleep?
