Bug Description
The use of a millisecond value for sleep and timeout isn't clear, and errorprone when using many minute durations.
This should use a syntax akin to durations, though the duration syntax (PT10m50s) seems a bit bulky for these operations (especially since only lower values are expected. Consider instead just using a simple marker:
ms : milliseconds
s : seconds
m : minutes
Such as
sleep 5m
Also allow decimals:
sleep 2.5m
