Template switch - scripts with delay

Hey

I have a template switch that uses two scripts as its turn off/turn on like so:

  - platform: template
    switches:
      heating:
        value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.heating', 'on')}}"
        turn_on:
          - service: script.heating
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
            entity_id: input_boolean.heating
            
        turn_off:
          - service: script.cooling
          - service: input_boolean.turn_off
            entity_id: input_boolean.heating

Im trying to add a 2 hour delay into the scripts but this seems to have stopped my switch from toggling properly. Am i right in thinking that the switch wont change state until the script has completed? Any ideas for a work around for this? I’d like to be able to toggle the switch within this 2 hour delay and have the switches state change and the delay restart.
