In the attached model I use a label "Pass" on two decision points that decrements each time an item passes. If it reaches zero, the next item will be stopped and at the same time a message is send to the other decision point. In the message trigger the counter is reset to 5 and in case a stopped item is currently at the decision point it gets resumed.
