Yeah, and I am not saying it does - haven't spotted anything like that, 
just that it leaves the auto-suspend with zero delay afterwards, 
compared to otherwise default 10s.

Maybe it is good for coverage, even with the downside of randomness 
considering shard runs, or maybe it needs to be more explicit.
