i think it'd be nice to be able to timeout streams, otherwise it'll just lock the thread and end up keeping the allocations right?

it could be done either with a timeout: Duration parameter (less likely for users to miss) or by implementing a Timed trait on the items at twilight_standby::future (not breaking), if you give me the up i can work on this

I believe this is covered by tokio via https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/time/fn.timeout.html and https://docs.rs/tokio-stream/latest/tokio_stream/trait.StreamExt.html#method.timeout

timeout in tokio::time - Rust

Requires a Future to complete before the specified duration has elapsed.

StreamExt in tokio_stream - Rust

An extension trait for the Stream trait that provides a variety of convenient combinator functions.

#

also you probably dont want to silently timeout, you probably want to delete or disable the component, message or reaction
