Use program token in wait step, for a wait value other than date

Is it possible to use a token in a wait step, not for a specific date, but a program token such as {{my.wait time}} and have the value of that token be a wait value in minutes or days, such as "15 minutes"?

Yes and no.

Rather than directly using the token in the Wait, use a Text {{my.token}} to manage another DateTime field (using date math {{lead.next wait end}} + {{my.wait time}} minutes).

Then Wait until that DT field.

How can you use dateTime tokens in the "Date Token" option in the wait step?

 

This was brought up before and I get the same error when I try and schedule a campaign to run
