What it does
Pause between live Shodan lookups so the engine stays within Shodan's rate limit.
When set
A lower value speeds up large runs but may hit Shodan's rate limit and cause failed lookups on lower plans. Cached lookups are not delayed.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 1100 milliseconds (about one call per second).
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
Requires
Read by: publicip.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Lower it only if your Shodan plan allows faster calls.
