Lua Time before player can run console command again

[IMayhem]

I'm looking for a way to make it so a player cannot run a console command if they ran it 10 or less minutes ago, and it will give an error message. Any tips on how to do this?

local variable = false

-- In the command --
if variable then ply:ChatPrint( "Command on cooldown!" ) return end
variable = true
timer.Simple( 600, function() variable = false end )

Thank you code_gs! Works flawlessly.

You're doing the command clientside, right? A serverside variable will be changed whenever anyone uses the command, and it will apply for all players instead of just one. If you want to do it serverside, consider adding a variable to the player entity itself. Also, if you're doing it clientside, anyone could simply bypass your attempts to limit the command.
