Function: sleepUnref()

sleepUnref(ms: number, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<void>

Defined in: shared/utils/abortUtils.ts:349

Promise-based sleep helper with AbortSignal support that does not keep the Node.js event loop alive.

Parameters

ms

number

Delay duration in milliseconds.

signal?

AbortSignal

Optional cancellation signal to observe.

Returns

Promise<void>

Remarks

This behaves like sleep, but when running in Node.js / Electron it will call unref() on the underlying timer handle when available.

Prefer this for best-effort background waits (for example, retry delays) where you do not want the process to stay alive solely because a sleep is pending.
