Time delay is breaking my (previously working) automations

For the last 2 or more years I've been using multiple app-created automations to manage my sleep. I start them when I go to bed and many actions run over the next several hours. Recently, all of them stopped working properly. Any actions after the 1st time delay do not run. The automation shows as still running, in the app.

I only just discovered the Script Editor and decided to test if this would make any difference and wrote this:

metadata:
  name: A simple test
  description: It's a simple test, for 8 and a half hours
automations:
  - starters:
    - type: assistant.event.OkGoogle
      eventData: query
      is: Let's do a simple test
  actions:
    - type: assistant.command.Broadcast
      message: Yes Master. Simple
    - type: time.delay
      for: 20sec
    - type: assistant.command.Broadcast
      message: That's 20 seconds.

It doesn't get any simpler than this. I never hear that final announcement on any of my 3 Nest Mini speakers.

What changed?

Suggestions?
