So instead, every Friday I want it to check if there’s a pending OTA update (through a Product). I don’t want it to always wait for a full 30 seconds (which seems to be the time it takes for my devices to download OTA updates) because this halts code, increases the energy usage and I may not even have new firmware every Friday. So instead, I let it wait for 5 seconds, s…
Ok, I figured it out thanks to another member. Too tired to dig up the thread to give credit sorry!

uint32_t ms = millis();
while(millis()-ms < 5000) Particle.process();

{
ms = millis();
while(millis()-ms < 60000) Particle.process();
}
Basically, wait 5 seconds to check if there’s an OTA update pending. If TRUE, then wait 60 seconds to let it take place. Without those delays, your firmware will like…
Basically, you do need to keep the device from going to sleep until the update is done.
