Good comp sci concept. The countdown example is great. But what happens if we want to make the countdown interruptible? That is, while the system is waiting, the user just cancels the whole thing. Or what if the user wants to increase the length to say 15 countdowns?

With Distributed Async Await, Cancellation of an in-progress function execution is possible. However, changing the countdown value (args of the function execution) after it is started is something to explore further. There are some Durable Execution platforms that support this, (if I understand you correctly) but Distributed Async Await hasn't made that a priority.
