This is a simple pseudocode for controlling and conditioning recursive setTimeout functions.

    const myVar = setTimeout(function myIdentifier() {

    // some code

    if (condition) {
        clearTimeout(myIdentifier)
    } else {
        setTimeout(myIdentifier, delay); //delay is a value in ms.
    }

}, delay);
