# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Cron long deliveries starving heartbeat, recorded as errors

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members concern cron runs where a delivery taking over about 30 seconds appears to starve the run's fire-claim heartbeat, so delivered runs get recorded with an 'ownership lost' error status. One is an issue describing the problem and the other two appear to be fix proposals; the titles do not confirm any outcome.

## TL;DR
