Look, suppose you wrote the following code:
task = Task.async(fn -> Process.sleep(:infinity) end)
Process.sleep(5_000)
Task.await(task, 5_000)
How long before it times out? 10 seconds of course. But this is obvious and expected. This is exactly what you’re doing by making the Task.await calls consecutive. It’s just that instead of sleeping in the main process you’re waiting on a different task. Task.await is blocking, this is expected.
