Yes, any laptop vendor can specify most of the timeouts in ACPI, up to
65534 ms, and OSes can go beyond that limit in many ways. The OSes I
looked at even give the application some freedom, e.g. asking "how long
will it take you to save state?". Back when I looked at this, I didn't
see find case where OS code seriously allowed applications to cancel
the OS response to events like lid close - the choice was really
between suspending the nice way or suffer a worse fate when the the
nice processes are done.

(IIRC, that's indicative that some ACPI variable is set to 65535 by the
vendor, and the OS wedged.)
