Yes. The interval is counted from completion of the previous op.

Repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting the result to
change is one of the clinical tests for irrational and insane behaviour.
So pacemaker doesn't do that. ;-) "stop" isn't supposed to fail, we
don't support retrying it, and will not.

Fix it so that it doesn't fail; if it fails due to a too short timeout,
make the timeout longer.
