Automation "stopped because only a single execution"

I created a new automation, but while it is triggered and the (single) condition passes, it doesn’t execute and the Trace Timeline says “Stopped because only a single execution is allowed”. However, the trigger is just for a switch to be “on” for 5 minutes and my understanding of “single execution” is when the automation is triggered multiple times simultaneously. How could this happen on a time trigger?

alias: Ask to play music if in office on computer for 5 mins
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - switch.pauls_pc
    to: "on"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 5
      seconds: 0
condition:
  - condition: not
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_select.house_mode
        state: Sleeping
action:
  - snipped
mode: single

I’m running the latest HA (2022.9.1).

Am I missing something dumb?

Thanks,
Paul
