Function tokio::time::sleep::sleep_until

pub fn sleep_until(deadline: Instant) -> Sleep 

Waits until deadline is reached.

No work is performed while awaiting on the sleep future to complete. Sleep operates at millisecond granularity and should not be used for tasks that require high-resolution timers.

To run something regularly on a schedule, see interval.

Cancellation

Canceling a sleep instance is done by dropping the returned future. No additional cleanup work is required.

Examples

Wait 100ms and print “100 ms have elapsed”.

use tokio::time::{sleep_until, Instant, Duration};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    sleep_until(Instant::now() + Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
    println!("100 ms have elapsed");
}

See the documentation for the Sleep type for more examples.

Panics

This function panics if there is no current timer set.

It can be triggered when Builder::enable_time or Builder::enable_all are not included in the builder.

It can also panic whenever a timer is created outside of a Tokio runtime. That is why rt.block_on(sleep(...)) will panic, since the function is executed outside of the runtime. Whereas rt.block_on(async {sleep(...).await}) doesn’t panic. And this is because wrapping the function on an async makes it lazy, and so gets executed inside the runtime successfully without panicking.
