G4: Dwell
Example: G4 P200
In this case sit still doing nothing for 200 milliseconds. During delays the state of the machine (for example the temperatures of its extruders) will still be preserved and controlled.

so if you were to put G4 P5400000 at the start of your gcode it would sit there and do nothing for 1.5 hours.
Thats assuming 5400000 isnt too big a number.

That may be good if you need a short period for something. But having the extruder stay fully heated for an hour and a half may results in oozing, or if nothing else, cooking the filament.Quote

Plus, what was the original purpose of needing the pause? If it's from a safety aspect in case something overheats or worse catches fire, then just sitting there with both heat sources on but the printer not moving doesn't increase the safety.
