Randomize usage time in re-intervention

I’m using the re-intervention tool and realized, that if I allow myself 4 minutes of instagram, just before my time runs out, a reel I’m really interested starts to play and has its peak right after my usage time. I think the algorithm understood that I’ve been leaving the app after an whole-numbered amount of minutes and tries to incentivize me to come back again (which unfortunately happens ever so often).

I feel like an optional slight randomization could help so that even if I give myself 5 minutes, it will sometimes grant me 5:09 and sometimes 4:52, to disguise my behaviour.
