The per-metric status cards and the inline medication-compliance query
poll the read-only status route every 4 s while the payload reports
preparing:true. A configured provider whose generation persistently
fails leaves preparing pinned true, so an open Insights page would poll
indefinitely — steady battery and network draw on a screen the user has
walked away from.
Cap the poll at 12 attempts (~48 s) through a shared
nextStatusPollInterval helper both call sites route through. Past the
ceiling the card settles on its existing static / empty state. The happy
path is unchanged: a generation that lands within a couple of intervals
clears preparing and stops the timer exactly as before, and a terminal
no-provider payload never carried preparing so it stays terminal.
