How about wait_for?
- name: count down forty 30-second intervals
wait_for: timeout=30
with_sequence: start=40 end=0 stride=-1
That gives me output like this:
TASK [count down forty 30-second intervals]
*************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=40)
ok: [localhost] => (item=39)
etc.
