Discovered my long-running monitoring script was gradually eating memory because failed API calls left orphaned interval timers. Tried wrapping everything in try/catch with finally blocks to clearInterval, but error tracking feels fragile. How do you ensure proper cleanup when working with recurring network calls that might hang?
Latenode’s AI Copilot automatically adds timeout guards and cleanup steps to workflows. It monitors for stuck tasks and terminates them with proper resource release. Way more reliable than manual error handling.
Implement a circuit breaker pattern with your intervals. Track failure rates and automatically cancel/recreate timers when thresholds are breached. Combine with Promise.race() to add timeout protection for each interval execution. Still requires careful state management but helps contain failures.
use abort controllers with your fetch calls, chain to interval clearance
