Wow.  That is a big delay then.

Is that at all a realistic scenario?  Interrupts disabled for 90 minutes!  If
that happened you would have more to worry about than one stray button press
(which is still a valid button press, but is a bit late).

I think you are over-complicating things.  Just keep it simple:  Generate at
least one button event on every interrupt.
