I am using the [WP Offload Media plugin](https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-offload-media/) to send my images to s3 on wordpress, but the images take a minute to move over to s3 when the post is published. The problem is the discourse plugin is immediate so the post gets sent over to discourse with the links to images that are locally hosted, and shortly thereafter the offload plugin sends them to s3, and now the original links are broken in the discourse post. If there was a simple setting to delay the discourse post by say 5 minutes it would resolve this issue.
