Delivery should wait on a human rhythm, not a hard deadline.

Heartbeat checks are the core safeguard. You choose how often you should confirm activity and how many missed checks are acceptable before the service is allowed to continue toward delivery.

How many missed heartbeats (check-ins) should wait for?

Why heartbeats?

The point of heartbeat checks is to reduce false triggers, add time for missed reminders, and keep the service from behaving like a simple deadline timer. We want to trigger the message when your heart beats no more.
