feat: decrease yukhyan mock timeout

Title: Decrease @yukhyan mock timeout to 24 Hours

Description: This RFC addresses the need to adjust the @yukhyan mock timeout from 72 hours to 24 hours across the relevant components of the system. The rationale behind this change stems from the necessity to more actively reinforce user mocked state.

Motivation: Currently, the system's @yukhyan mock timeout is set at 72 hours, allowing the user ample time to forget he is being mocked. However, in many cases, such extended periods are unnecessary and may lead to inefficiencies, especially in dynamic environments where rapid responses are crucial. By reducing the timeout to 24 hours, we aim to strike a balance between allowing sufficient time for the user to relax and ensuring timely mocking reinforcement.

Changes Proposed:

• Mock Timeout Adjustment: The primary change involves modifying the mock timeout parameter from 72 hours to 24 hours across the relevant modules and configurations within the system.
• Documentation Update: The documentation will be updated to reflect the revised timeout, ensuring that users and developers are aware of the change and its implications.
• Testing: Comprehensive testing will be conducted to validate the functionality of the system under the new timeout. This includes both unit tests and integration tests to ensure that the system behaves as expected and that no adverse effects are introduced.

Impact Assessment:

• Improved Responsiveness: With a shorter timeout threshold, the system will provide quicker feedback to users, enhancing overall responsiveness.
• Risk Mitigation: By reducing the window for potential system failures or bottlenecks, the new timeout may help mitigate risks associated with prolonged lack of mocking.

Rollback Plan:

In the event of unforeseen issues or regressions resulting from the mock timeout adjustment, a rollback plan will be executed. This involves reverting the changes to the timeout back to the original value of 72 hours while investigating and addressing any underlying issues.

Additional Considerations:

• Feedback Mechanism: Users and stakeholders will be informed of the timeout adjustment and encouraged to provide feedback on its impact and effectiveness.
• Monitoring and Alerting: Monitoring systems will be updated to reflect the new timeout, and appropriate alerting mechanisms will be put in place to notify administrators of any timeouts or performance anomalies.

Testing Instructions:

• Deploy the changes to a staging environment.
• Execute test scenarios covering various use cases and workflows.
• Verify that mocks are being sent within the new 24-hour timeout.
• Monitor system behavior and performance metrics during testing.
• Report any anomalies or unexpected behavior observed during testing.

Reviewer Checklist:

• Verify that the timeout has been correctly adjusted to 24 hours.
• Review documentation updates for accuracy and completeness.
• Ensure that testing has been conducted thoroughly and results are satisfactory.
• Assess the impact of the timeout threshold adjustment on system performance and responsiveness.
• Confirm that the rollback plan is comprehensive and executable if needed.

Deployment Plan: Upon successful review and approval, the changes will be deployed to the production environment during the next scheduled maintenance window. The deployment will follow standard procedures, including backup protocols and rollback preparations.

Post-Deployment Tasks:

• Monitor system behavior and performance closely after deployment.
• Address any issues or feedback from users and stakeholders promptly.
• Update post-deployment documentation as necessary.

Dear @nburtsev,

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for your exceptional initiative in proposing this adjustment. Your dedication to enhancing our workflow is greatly appreciated.

I concur with the idea of shortening the duration for mocking @yukhyan, as it aligns with our goal of maintaining efficiency while still injecting humor into our interactions. However, I do harbor some concern regarding the potential for overwhelming our colleague.

In light of this, I propose we contemplate expanding the feature's functionality to allow for the selection of stickers from a broader pool. This could not only introduce more variety but also elevate the entertainment value of the interaction.

I eagerly await your thoughts and insights on this matter.

Dear @cauchy2384

Firstly, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation for your proactive approach in suggesting this adjustment. Your dedication to improving our workflow is truly commendable.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of expanding the feature to allow for selection from multiple stickers, as it indeed contributes to our objective of a light-hearted atmosphere. I also appreciate your concern regarding the potential impact on our friend.

It's worth noting that esteemed colleague @frosthamster has already addressed your concerns in their latest commit. They proposed a thoughtful approach that ensures the balance between humor and consideration for @yukhyan's well-being.

I eagerly await further discussion and am open to exploring additional ideas to ensure a harmonious balance between humor and inclusivity in our community dynamics.
