-===== 2. Pause Until =====+By default (v11.0+) Keyboard Maestro will start to conserve CPU usage of this action if it runs for a long time (after 10 seconds it will conserve a little, after 60 seconds it will conserve a lot) by only checking the condition periodically. You can turn off this feature in the action (gear) ⚙ menu.
