Try this:
while time.process_time() < 0.5:
print('.', flush=True, end='')
Or:
>>> time.process_time()
0.03125
>>> len(str(2**500_000))
150515
>>> time.process_time()
0.484375
Basically, process_time() (and process_time_ns()) measure CPU time used by the process, and you aren't making the CPU do anything between your checks.
