Obviously, there isn't much point in spinning a task that litterally will do nothing. You can use a CancellationToken to cancel the task.

using var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(); await Task.Delay(Timeout.InfiniteTimeSpan, cts.Token); |
No point. It's just one of the things that makes one of the mes chuckle. - Sheldon Cooper
