In later version of BP there is a field on the Task configuration called Post Completion Delay, which although intended as a small buffer between login agent and the next process, I guess you could use it for a 2hr gap.

Or just put a 2h sleep process in between them. Either way that consumes your bot license for this 2 hours.
You could also put 2h delayed queue item and only start process, when you aquired lock on it, but that means you'll have to schedule process to start frequently and check for that queue item to become ready.

Depending on your environment, you may be able to use BP to create a windows task via SchTasks that to kicks off your process using automate.exe.Â

It would be nice if you could use automate.exe itself to request a schedule to run once at a specified time, rather than only being able to run immediately.
