In an automation script: is engine.Sleep(30000) blocking? Safe or best avoided?

Is using engine.Sleep in the context of an automation script blocking outside of the individual script run, i.e. would this 30 second sleep lock the UI thread, block other scripts from running, or result in wider performance degradation within the 30 seconds ?

Hi Stephen, engine.Sleep(30000) only pauses that individual script run for 30 seconds. It should not generally block unrelated automation scripts or other threads from running.
