    twiml = f'''
    <Response>
        <Gather>
            <Say loop="{loop}">{message}</Say>
            <Pause length="3"></Pause>

    ''',
    to    = to,
    from_ = from_,
)

Answer 1

Take a look at SSML Pause.

Adding a Pause

SSML Break Tag

I tried out the below, and it worked. Don't forget your <Gather> action url.

<Response>
    <Gather>
        <Say loop="3">This is a message with a pause between loops<break time="3s"/></Say>
    </Gather>
    <Redirect>/gather.xml</Redirect>
</Response>
