I'd recommend at least three seconds. Make a random sleep time between 3-10 if you want to be safe.

My account is suspended anytime I try less than 10 seconds. It depends on what request you are doing. Media likes and friendship creation are very sensitive although followers and following list are less. No scientific tests with rigorous methodology. Perception based on my experience of more than 100 times suspended.
