I don't have a primary source but I understood from the investigation of #8334 (and oxidecomputer/colo#120) that we have one policy for acquiring qorb claims for the database, which is that we wait up to 30s and then give up with an error.
I'd propose that:
- saga actions should maybe be willing to wait longer?
- saga undo actions should maybe wait indefinitely? I don't think we ever want these to give up for transient issues (which failure to get a claim should always be)
