Recurring Timer Cancelling about motoko-base

[chenyan-dfinity]

How about using setTimer?

  func job() : async () {
    switch (doSomthing()) {
      case (#ok) {
        Timer.setTimer(#seconds(5), job);
      };
      case (#stop) ();
    };
  };
  Timer.setTimer<system>(#seconds(5), job);

Interesting idea that might work, but if it got interrupted with a upgrade or an error it would just stop right? Maybe if I track the latest timerId, but then we are in a similar issue as before

Yep, you can store the latest id in a global state. What's the issue for that?

Ill try the Timer.setTimer idea and ill see if I have any issues. Thanks
