How to stop Cayenne.run() running continuously?

Community Help With My Project

I use Ethernet module (not shield) for Arduino MEGA. I want my sketch run without long delays what cayenne is causing when there is no connection. So I want to upload data to cloud every say 1 hour(1 accepted delay every one hour max).Libraries that are used are:

#define CAYENNE_DEBUG        
#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial  
#include <CayenneDefines.h>
#include <UIPEthernet.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleUIPEthernet.h>
#include <CayenneEthernetClient.h>
#define VIRTUAL_PIN V1
#define VIRTUAL_PIN V0

To stop trying finding DHCP forever I changed BLYNK_FATAL("DHCP Failed!") to BLYNK_LOG("DHCP Failed!") on BlynkEthernet.h

// DHCP with domain
int begin( const char* auth,
            const char* domain = BLYNK_DEFAULT_DOMAIN,
            uint16_t port      = BLYNK_DEFAULT_PORT,
            const byte mac[]   = _blynkEthernetMac)
{	
    Base::begin(auth);
    BLYNK_LOG("Getting IP...HI1"); 
       if (!Ethernet.begin((byte*)mac)) { 
            BLYNK_FATAL("DHCP Failed!"); 
    } 
    // give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
    ::delay(1000);
		this->conn.begin(domain, port); 
		IPAddress myip = Ethernet.localIP(); 
		BLYNK_LOG("My IP: %d.%d.%d.%d", myip[0], myip[1], myip[2], myip[3]);
	   return 0;

}

After library editing for my module I finally got this. But how to change the timeout of Ethernet.begin((byte)mac)?*
Here is the code to run cayenne.run every one hour and stop it when all data are uploaded.

const unsigned long doNotUploadTime = 1UL * 1000UL* 60UL *60UL; //1 hour
bool dataIsUploaded = false;
unsigned long uploadedTime;

...

void setup() {
  ...
  Cayenne.begin(token); // After library editing is has a timeout of 1min, I don't how to change it.
  ...
}

void loop() {

  ...

  unsigned long passedTime = millis() - uploadedTime;
  if (passedTime > doNotUploadTime) {
    dataIsUploaded = false;
    check_if_uploaded[0] = 0; // for V0
    check_if_uploaded[1] = 0; // for V1
  }


  if (!dataIsUploaded and !check_if_uploaded[0] and !check_if_uploaded[1]) {
    cayanae_run();
    dataIsUploaded = true;
    uploadedTime = millis();
  }

  ... // your code

}


void cayanae_run(void )
{
  if (!dataIsWritted) {

    while (1) // Add time out if you want
    {
      //Add here: if too much time passed call Cayenne.begin(token);
      Cayenne.run();
      if (check_if_uploaded[0] == 1 and check_if_uploaded[1] == 1) {
        break;
      }
    }
  }

}

// This function is called when the Cayenne widget requests data for the Virtual Pin.
CAYENNE_OUT(V1)
{
  Cayenne.celsiusWrite(V1, random(-5, 35));
  Serial.write("Temp updated");
  check_if_uploaded[1] = 1;
}

CAYENNE_OUT(V0)
{
  Cayenne.celsiusWrite(V0, random(-5, 35));
  Serial.write("Temp updated");
  check_if_uploaded[0] = 1;
}
