Hi, I am trying to add a `delay` but I dont know how to do this as i get the error about not being in a suspend function when inside an `intent`block.

```fun qrCodeFound(code: String) = intent {
    postSideEffect(ScanPassSideEffect.ShowSpinner)
    reduce {
        delay(1000)
        val passResult = decodeQrCode(code)```
The `delay` won’t work as its not in a suspend function which is strange because I thought all `reduce` calls weer within a `viewmodelscope` on android?

`reduce` is not a suspending block and for good reason. You should never do `delay` inside `reduce` as it locks up orbit’s event loop.

if you want to do the delay in this case, you should do it before `reduce`

thanks, I moved out of reduce and its fine.

worth saying if `decodeQrCode` is expensive then that should also be moved outside of the `reduce` block too
