Right. Well, I guess I just think the article is worded confusingly then. Because when I read it I thought "wait, it doesn't error, it waits" and I think that's an important feature.

Yes you can choose, either to wait until your configured timeout (and if you set it to 0 it will wait indefinitely) or error immediately
