Hi guys, I want to use `delay` in my launch function. I always use `xxxL` value for `delay`. Is there any function to convert `seconds`, `minutes` &amp; `hours` . For example
/ For 30 second
```delay(30)```
// For 1 minute
```delay(1)```
// For 2 Hour
```delay(2)```
It's so much confusing to multiple by value. Thanks

You could possibly use something like this:

```delay(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(2))```
TimeUnit exposes other enum values, such as:

`MINUTES`, `HOURS`, `DAYS`, etc….

Delay supports Duration:

(See overload which works with Duration, not with long)

I am trying to use like this
```delay(Duration(1.minutes))```
and imports are
```import kotlinx.coroutines.delay
import kotlinx.coroutines.launch
import kotlin.time.Duration
import kotlin.time.Duration.Companion.minutes```
but I am getting

Error on the screenshot is from duration constructor, not from delay
