I'm confused, but *think* David Tamkin had the right interpretation of
what you're trying to do.  In other words, you have an autoreply recipe
you only want to run during (roughly) non-business hours, and not that
you want to autoreply to all mail but delay mailing of the resposes to
off-peak hours.

If that's correct, then it's fitting that one of David's archived
posts provide the answer. He's already given you the concept and the
post below shows a specific example. I know this has been discussed
multiple times over the years, but I remember this one as the
beneficiary. ;-)

N.B. His examples at the bottom of the page answer a question that
reversed the sense of how I understand your request. Specifically, it
shows how to execute a certain recipe only during business hours, where
you seem to want NOT during business hours. You should be able to get
the idea, though.  His example also deals with forwarding a message
copy, and not an auto responder, but the idea is the same. That should
get you started.
