I am developing an Outlook Add-in and encountered the 5-minute time limit for the ExecuteFunction as described in the documentation: Action xsi ExecuteFunction - Outlook Add-ins.

What are the best practices to handle scenarios where the ExecuteFunction might require more than 5 minutes to complete? Are there any recommended patterns for offloading longer processes or ensuring that users don't experience interruptions when a function needs more time? I'd appreciate any insights or examples of how to effectively manage this limit in real-world use cases.
