That can be caused by use of $.flow.delay in your workflow, are you using a Delay step?

I am not

It’s possible a pre-built action that you’re using in your workflow might be using that helper under the hood. Could you share more details about your workflow’s steps?

Yes, I believe this is copied from the Thomas Frank example, which was recently refactored to use delaying to help with the latency from OpenAI

I got the idea from a youtube video, do you have a link to the Thomas Frank example I could check out?
