MSP430FR2532: Adding a longer delay (30 seconds) to LED2 while CAPT_appHandler() is active (Capacitive button)

Good Day Ti Forum,

I am attempting to add a longer delay to LED2 within the code below. I have attempted using __delay_cycles but maximum I can get up to is around 15 seconds. If I increase the value, the code compiles but doesnt function.

What I am trying to achieve is as follows,

1. User touches button (which goes into CAPT_apphandler())

2. Output LED2 (30 seconds always on, no toggle) AND Output LED1 (30 seconds, but rapid toggle, to reduce power consumption

3. Go back to sleep.

This is my code below;

// Development main.c for MSP430FR2633, MSP430FR2533, MSP430FR2632, and
// MSP430FR2532.
//
// This starter application initializes the CapTIvate touch library
// for the touch panel specified by CAPT_UserConfig.c/.h via a call to
// CAPT_appStart(), which initializes and calibrates all sensors in the
// application, and starts the CapTIvate interval timer.
//
// Then, the capacitive touch interface is driven by calling the CapTIvate
// application handler, CAPT_appHandler().  The application handler manages
// whether the user interface (UI) is running in full active scan mode, or
// in a low-power wake-on-proximity mode.
//
// The CapTIvate application handler will return true if proximity was
// detected on any of the sensors in the application, which is used here
// to control the state of LED2. LED1 is set while the background loop enters
// the handler, and is cleared when the background loop leaves the handler.
//
// \version 1.83.00.05
// Released on May 15, 2020

Any support/guidance will be appreciated.
