Need Assistance Adding a Timeout, Please

Retribution:
I have a photocell detecting light levels and when the level is above the 200 threshold the motor turns clockwise. When below the threshold, the motor turns counterclockwise but I need to wait five-minutes before turning the motor counterclockwise.

boolean is_above_200 = false;
boolean is_clockwise = true;
uint32_t below_200_ms;

loop() {
  boolean was_above_200 = is_above_200;
  is_above_200 = alalogRead(pin) > 200;

  if(is_above_200) {
    if(!is_clockwise) {
      turn the motor clockwise
      is_clockwise = true;
    }
  }
  else {
    if(was_above_200) {
      below_200_ms = millis();  
    }

    if(is_clockwise && millis() - below_200_ms >= 5L * 60L * 1000L) {
      turn the motor counterclockwise
      is_clockwise = false;
    } 
  }
}

Something I didn't think about when I first asked, I want to continue the delay(1000) iterations while the 5-minute timeout is counting down.

Thanks again for any guidance

Hmm.

boolean is_above_200 = false;
boolean is_clockwise = true;
uint32_t below_200_ms;
uint32_t countdown_ms;

loop() {
  boolean was_above_200 = is_above_200;
  is_above_200 = alalogRead(pin) > 200;

  if(is_above_200) {
    if(!is_clockwise) {
      turn the motor clockwise
      is_clockwise = true;
    }
  }
  else {
    if(was_above_200) {
      below_200_ms = millis();  
      countdown_ms = millis();
      Serial.println("starting countdown!");
    }

    if(is_clockwise && millis() - countdown_ms >= 1000) {
      Serial.println("counting down");
       countdown_ms += 1000;
    }

    if(is_clockwise && millis() - below_200_ms >= 5L * 60L * 1000L) {
      turn the motor counterclockwise
      is_clockwise = false;
    } 
  }
}
