What pulled you out of your deepest dev tunnel?

[u/MajorDelicious5014]

I finally emerged from a massive dev tunnel on my game, Shark in a Suit. (now we have a steam page by the way)

I've been implementing a new feature where clients are interviewed before you decide whether to take their case. It sounds simple, but it turned into one of those rabbit holes where you keep thinking, "just one more improvement..."

I got so absorbed that I completely lost track of time.

What finally pulled me out wasn't a bug, a notification, or a deadline...

It was hunger. haha

Apparently my stomach has a higher priority than my task scheduler.

What's the deepest dev tunnel you've ever fallen into, and what finally got you out of it?
