determine the minimum time for the player to hold the button

Question

the idea is that when the player holds the heal button, the character stays still and concentrating the healing (as in the hollow knight), and spends part of the collected souls, i have been trying something like this.

     public void SoulsControl()
     {
         if (souls >= maxSouls)
         {
             souls = maxSouls;
         }
 
         if (playerInputs.healing && souls > healCust)
         {
             canMove = true;
             rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
             souls -= healCust;
             isHealing = true;
 
             if (isHealing)
             {
                 StartCoroutine(GainHealth());
             }
             else
             {
                 StopCoroutine(GainHealth());
                 canMove = false;
                 isHealing = false;
             }
 
         }
     }
     IEnumerator GainHealth()
     {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(timeBtwHeal);
         Damageable damageable = GetComponent<Damageable>();
         damageable.SetHealing(1);
         isHealing = false;
         canMove = false;
 
     }

You can use a function that set a boolean value to true... And a timer into the update function, when the boolean value is true the timer start... when passing certain seconds you will call the method

 public bool startTimer = false;
 float timer = 0;
 public float timeToReach = 0.3f;
 
 void Update()
 {
    if(startTimer)
    {
       if(timer<timeToReach)
          timer+=Time.deltaTime;
       else
          SoulsControl();
    }
 }
 
 public void OnButtonPressed()
 {
    startTimer=true;
 }
 
 public void OnButtonReleased()
 {
    startTimer=false;
    timer = 0;
 }
