some confuse about setTimer

[User979269852]

recently such a problem came to me,I write my code like this:
public void test(){
vertx.setTimer(10000,handle -> {
try{
// do something;
test();
} catch(e){
test();
}
});
}
but amazingly I found that the timer would exit after it work for several times. Do anyone know why? Thanks a lot.

I wish the timer all the time.but “something “happened and the timer did not work in next 10s,I wonder what “something” was
