Waiting allows you to write complex tasks as a set of async code, without having to schedule another task or poll for changes.In the Trigger.dev Cloud we automatically pause execution of tasks when they are waiting for longer than a few seconds.When triggering and waiting for subtasks, the parent is checkpointed and while waiting does not count towards compute usage. When waiting for a time period (wait.for or wait.until), if the wait is longer than 5 seconds we checkpoint and it does not count towards compute usage.
