Email Workers reply.message timeout

Developers Cloudflare Workers

For Workers & Pages, what is the name of the domain?

What is the issue or error you’re encountering

I’m trying to process an inbound email, make a long-running RPC to Browser Render (which might take 1–2 minutes), then reply to the sender using message.reply(). The problem: Message.reply() is no longer allowed after ~30 seconds — the Worker context is terminated. I’m on a paid Workers plan but realised there’s no open connection during the email worker, so the event window just closes. Is there any way to defer a message.reply() or park the reply until after long async work?

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

env.EMAIL.send() is available however I do not want to have to verify every user I’m emailing so that rules it out.
