Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
When using PROTOTYPE > INTERACTIONS > DELAY > AFTER DELAY > 10000ms
Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
DURATION can’t go further than 10000ms

Would be great to be able to have more time for delays! 100000 max? 1000000?
I would really like longer delays, I think it is a pointless restriction which only makes it harder to design freely.
In my personal scenario 2 minutes would be great.
Just imagine having a view with a 120s timeout, I would like to transition between views to usertest a timeout experience.
Another specific scenario is a timer (progressbar like component) which visualize the countdown to the timeout. I would like to set a full bar and an empty bar variation for the countdown component and use smart animate. Currently I have to do 12 variants to create this specific components, only due to the current 10s restriction… Please fix this asap. Thanks.
Longer delays can provide cross-team use for prototypes; longer delays allow options to explore different levels of user feedback in moments of inactivity for research. In addition, long-time delays are also valuable for the sales and marketing teams as the designer can set screens to display the prototype page by page on background displays at start-up trade shows, client meetings, demonstrations, site embedding, and so much more if you think creatively!
When I use Smart Animate in interactive components, it allows me to enter 10000ms maximum for the duration. I think this area should allow any number (up to 100000). Also, a loop option for the interactive component would be awesome.

The best use case for this is when creating a carousel with let’s say 10 images that loop. I set it up as a frame with 10 images in position start and then a second frame in position end. 10s is way too fast and it looks like the images are zooming to the left in the carousel.
This seems like an arbitrarily unnecessary restriction, why not make it unlimited?
Longer delay abilities also help when we have some other components (which also have animations within themselves) on the page and we want to have the transition only when they’re complete.
Making a pan loop BG for a game. I need a very calm and slow camera pan of a tile bg background, but with this cap the “camera man” seems in a rush to finish the job and go home xD
Hey Ignacio, thank you for your feedback! Others in the community have requested something similar. Feel free to leave your feedback and vote here: https://t.co/H1oXsxTzGJ.
This would be useful for me also, designing a UI for a device that has a 2 minute start up sequence for self test functions etc. I can’t be the only one using Figma to prototype UIs for industrial or scientific equipment that have self test and diagnostic routines prior to activation.
