That method isn't async; it blocks the caller, and then returns a result wrapped in a Task<T> instance.

If you make it async, you can use await Task.Delay(5000); instead of Thread.Sleep(5000);, and the caller will be able to continue after the loop has finished.

To let the caller continue before the loop has finished, you'd need to yield control before starting the loop.
C#
private static async Task<int> GetSomeData()
{
    await Task.Yield();
    
    int x = 0;
    for (; x < 900_000_000; x++)
    {
    }
    
    await Task.Delay(5000);
    return x;
}
