Run Cron Job in streamlit applications

[MattGuitarMurphy]

I wonder if you could use this timer code (without display) in order to reload every so often.

How to make a timer?

Hi! You could use the metrics and display a countdown: import streamlit as st import time st.set_page_config() ph = st.empty() N = 5*60 for secs in range(N,0,-1): mm, ss = secs//60, secs%60 ph.metric("Countdown", f"{mm:02d}:{ss:02d}") time.sleep(1) [countdown] But there is a huge catch: the app wont be able to do anything else until the countdown ends (It stays on the countdown loop). I’d love to know if there’s a way to avoid this!
