Glad you found a low-code solution!

In the spirit of providing another (essentially) no-code way to route messages via a counter, I have also used [this technique](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/switch-node-jsonata-magic/12943/4) based on a `switch` node:

Of course, it doesn't provide the nice status message, but it's useful when you just need to send a message down a different path, say for a poor-man's load-balancer.
