Temporary hide content from a connection

Suppose 'connection A' posts 10 items in a short time. Usually you are happy to see content from connection A.
Is there a way in the 'filter network' option to hide content from 'A', perhaps for a short period of time?

I don't know if both filters (import/do not import) are applied in the correct order. You could try this:

If you want to filter out everything from <time one> to <time two>, you would have to set the contact in the content filter to ‘Import’ until=<time one> and at the same time to ‘Do not import’ until=<time two>.

The times must be specified in the format <year-month-day [hour:minute:second]>.

Of course, this only works if the filters are actually applied sequentially by Hubzilla. If not, the second filter (do not import) will also filter out those that were previously filtered positively (import).

Then this would only be possible using a regular expression on the corresponding item field. Unfortunately, item filters do not allow regular expressions.

If the above sequence does not work, I personally see no alternative.
