Timeout when polling for Unlocked Package Version Create report

Question

I have an Unlocked Package with many dependencies. Its creating takes more than 30 minutes.

My Backend code is polling every 5 seconds using

sfdx force:package:version:create:report --json --packagecreaterequestid 08c...3AAK

and after a while it's failing with this error

Timeout exceeded, while waiting for force:package:version:create:report response

What am I doing wrong?

Is the polling frequency too high?

Most likely, yes. I do remember having problems with being impatient before I discovered force:package:version:create --wait.

What is a recommended frequency?

force:package:version:create --wait sleeps in 30 second intervals. I'd consider this a recommended strategy.

Are the limits I am running in documented anywhere?

Not that I'm aware of, but generally polling every five seconds in Salesforce is not ideal.

We are trying to use wait but I will keep this open and wait for answers that explain what limits were run into AND why there is the need for a polling report command when there is a wait param.

The wait param other then I remember AND it is documented requires a numeric minute value. If I put 60 there and package creation takes 2h it will not work. So I think polling is the better more scalable approach.

@RobertSösemann Maybe. I've always just set to 100, haven't had a problem yet, and that was with 10k+ elements in the package. Still, I think 30 seconds between checks is probably reasonable, since that's what the CLI does. Hopefully we'll get a response from Wade or someone today.
