WP7 Calling NotifyComplete() after 25 seconds on a PeriodicTask

Question

I'm trying to understand why the NotifyComplete() method gets called even after the 25 second limit for a periodic task execution.

I understand that if notifyComplete() is not called befere 25 seconds, the task is killed, but this is not what is happening. NotifyComplete() is still get called after 60 seconds.

protected override void OnInvoke(ScheduledTask task)
{ 
    Thread.Sleep(60000); // 60 Seconds
    NotifyComplete();
}

Any Ideas?, I'm missunderstanding in some way the way the background agents work? Thanks!

Is it happening on the phone or emulator or both? – Derek Beattie Dec 11 '11 at 15:49 — Derek Beattie, Dec 11 '11 at 15:49

If it happens while debugging.

When running under the debugger, the memory and run-time constraints are ignored by the Windows Phone operating system.
