Description
I've set the activity timeout to 3600 seconds in the settings. Most tasks complete normally, but some are not polled and executed by the worker until several hours later.
Below is the event history—I'm unsure what happened. Could anyone help diagnose this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Start with the attached event history and the activity timeout setting, then trace how the worker polls and executes delayed tasks. Reproduce the several-hour delay if possible and compare affected tasks with those that complete normally. Done means identifying the cause of the delay and defining the expected polling behavior.
