Hey thanks for your contribution, looks great!

One suggestion: I think this looks more like a cooldown than a timeout. WDYT?

@jeschkies LGTM?

[stale[bot]]

Hi! This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any activity in the past 30 days.

We use a stalebot among other tools to help manage the state of issues in this project. A stalebot can be very useful in closing issues in a number of cases; the most common is closing issues or PRs where the original reporter has not responded.

Stalebots are also emotionless and cruel and can close issues which are still very relevant.

If this issue is important to you, please add a comment to keep it open. More importantly, please add a thumbs-up to the original issue entry.

We regularly sort for closed issues which have a stale label sorted by thumbs up.

We may also:

• Mark issues as revivable if we think it's a valid issue but isn't something we are likely to prioritize in the future (the issue will still remain closed).
• Add a keepalive label to silence the stalebot if the issue is very common/popular/important.

We are doing our best to respond, organize, and prioritize all issues but it can be a challenging task, our sincere apologies if you find yourself at the mercy of the stalebot.
