Create ASG EC2 instance with delay of 5 mins

[pb9743]

Description

Below is my code to create delay of 5 mins before launching new EC2 instance from ASG after existing instance stopped manually from EC2 console (testing purpose). But new EC2 instance is launching before 5 mins.
Requirement is to create an Auto Scaling Group (ASG) where new EC2 instances start only after an existing server becomes stopped for 5 minutes. How to achieve it using AWS Terraform.

resource "aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm" "stopped_instances_alarm" {
  alarm_name          = "StoppedInstancesAlarm"
  comparison_operator = "GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold"
  evaluation_periods  = 1 # 
  metric_name         = "StoppedInstances"
  namespace           = "Custom/EC2"
  period              = 300 # 
  statistic           = "Sum"
  threshold           = 1 
  alarm_description   = "Alarm triggered when number of stopped instances exceeds threshold within 5 minutes"
}
