Issue with sleep/wait example

I found this example: https://community.n8n.io/t/wait-node-in-workflow/73 to add a pause. (Discord doesn’t like it when I try to send multiple items in a short time)

Whenever I try to use the RSS node with it I get an error saying items not defined or not iterable. With no changes it works just fine. Here’s the example using RSS:

There is a problem with the above workflow. It can not be posted. Can you please copy and paste it again. Thanks!

Not sure why you have the Function-Node called “Split up”. But if you simply remove it, it will work fine.
