Yes that is exactly what happens to me. I need a global switch to throw an interrupt if more than x cpu seconds elapses without termination. Or, when local storage is more than y% used. Preferably this could be toggled and set from an ide menu or from profile so I wouldn’t have to (forget to!) set it every time. There is nothing worse than having to reboot and loses loads of work!
