While in Process Flow

Hello, I am trying to represent a "while" in process flow.
My token would loop to a decide question until the answer to the decide allows it to continue.

The problem with this "loop delay" is it makes a simulation very slow...

Is there a better way to loop tokens until the condition is true?

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.0.0

Thanks Joerg, I tried to use the WaitForEvent activity in this test-model:

test loopwhile.fsm

My "WaitForEvent" lets token continue until the content in the list "TokenInProgress" reaches 5. once this number of tokens in progress, the WaitForEvent stops the flow of tokens until the content drops below 5.
The problem I have is my WaitForEvent releases all tokens that have been waiting and it causes the content in the list to increase to even more than 5. I would like the WaitForEvent to release only tokens until it reaches the maximum again, 5, but no more.

Could you give me any tip on how I could release tokens until 5 tokens in progress is met again, Joerg?

Thank you,
Guillaume

please set wait for event activity in a zone to limit access for tokens to it.
