Can I make the loop try again after 15 minutes if the status is still `Pending`?

**Answer:**

- Use the `WAIT` task before checking the status again. You can configure it like this:

```json
{
    "name": "wait_task",
    "type": "WAIT",
    "inputParameters": {
        "duration": "15 minutes"
    }
}

```

- Learn more about the `WAIT` task in the [documentation](https://orkes.io/content/reference-docs/operators/wait).
