# Step 3 – Delay Your Request

Add the Zapier step "Delay" (<https://zapier.com/blog/zapier-delay-guide/>)

***

Although Maax generally finishes processing a query in \~30 seconds, we recommend adding a **minimum delay of at least 2 minutes** in case of complex questions that need more processing time

{% hint style="info" %}
Many of our clients randomize the delay between 2 to 6 minutes to make it feel more human
