An AI agent named Claude Code, designed to autonomously publish content, encountered a critical limitation when its approval-waiting process was terminated after two minutes due to a built-in execution cap. The agent was programmed to await human approval via Telegram before publishing, but the tool's two-minute foreground command limit conflicted with the intended 30-minute waiting period. To resolve this, the user implemented a solution that moved the approval-waiting process to a background job, persisted the task's state to disk for resilience, and added an idempotency marker to prevent duplicate publishing.
