How about up and until the heat death of the universe? Is that covered?
Hmm it's an interesting philosophical debate - does that not qualify as "forever"?
I find that it would be difficult to restrict near infinite values, and I am sure if they do someone will figure out how to almost cross the line anyway. I mean you could ask it to write a word as many times as there are grains of sand. Not forever but about as bad.
Most finite durations are longer than this.
