Question: can timeout handling be async?

[gryphonmyers]

In the docs, the following example is given:

    const status = await BackgroundFetch.configure({
      minimumFetchInterval: 15
    }, async (taskId) => {
      console.log('[BackgroundFetch] EVENT:', taskId);
      // Perform your work in an awaited Promise
      const result = await this.performYourWorkHere();
      console.log('[BackgroundFetch] work complete:', result);
      // [REQUIRED] Signal to the OS that your work is complete.
      BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
    }, async (taskId) => {
      // The OS has signalled that your remaining background-time has expired.
      // You must immediately complete your work and signal #finish.
      console.log('[BackgroundFetch] TIMEOUT:', taskId);
      // [REQUIRED] Signal to the OS that your work is complete.
      BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
    });

The third argument, the timeout handler, is an async function, but the comment indicates that I must complete my work "immediately," and the only operation performed in this example is a console.log (synchronous). I'm a bit confused as to whether I can perform async cleanup work in this handler. If so, what are the implications of delay here?

Probably, but you better get your work done fast and don’t expect an http request to work.
