The TimeoutTrigger class uses an executorService for this cleanly, without exposing anything else. Checking constantly for the remaining time seemed like an overhead that would be cumulatively add to the runtime. The one benefit of doing this in the Cursor would be that I could, potentially, have a new QueryState defined as TIMED_OUT, but I'm reluctant to modify the Protobuf as of now.
