Hi @Hayk Tadevosyan 

You could create an automation rule with a scheduled trigger, gathering issues which do not have your comment yet, and then use the date diff() function to check the number of elapsed business days, such as between {{now}} and {{issue.updated}} https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/#Date-difference---

That will be an approximation, as there may have been other issue changes which refreshed the value of updated.  For a more accurate result, a custom field could be set with another rule whenever an issue transitions status, and then use that field in comparisons.

I recommend trying to create your rule, and if you run into challenges, post images of your complete rule, the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected.

To get you started on creating your rule, please refer to these documentation and example sources:
