I narrowed down the required timeout, and looks like 25ms is the
minimum that works. With 24ms I already started to have failures. So
maybe just bump it up by an order of magnitude to 250ms for some
safety margin?

In any case I think I'll leave the machine running S3 cycles over the
weekend with the 25ms timeout just to see if it will eventually fail.
