Hello folks, i'm thinking on the possibility of use Arcane Abeyance inside a Chest of Preserving to preserve the bead for a longer period or even create multiple beads. Do you think it will work?
Chest of Preserving - WDMM p139 - Wondrous item, common Food and other perishable items do not age or decay while inside a Chest of Preserving. The chest is 2½ feet long, 1½ feet wide, and 1 foot tall with a half-barrel lid. The chest has a lock, which can be picked with thieves' tools and a successful DC 15 Dexterity check. Smashing the lock or any other part of the chest renders it nonmagical.
Arcane Abeyance - EGW p184, 10th-level Chronurgy Magic feature When you cast a spell using a spell slot of 4th level or lower, you can condense the spell's magic into a mote. The spell is frozen in time at the moment of casting and held within a gray bead for 1 hour. This bead is a Tiny object with AC 15 and 1 hit point, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage. When the duration ends, or if the bead is destroyed, it vanishes in a flash of light, and the spell is lost. A creature holding the bead can use its action to release the spell within, whereupon the bead disappears. The spell uses your spell attack bonus and save DC, and the spell treats the creature who released it as the caster for all other purposes. Once you create a bead with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

The bead created by Arcane Abeyance isn't "food and other perishable items" so it wouldn't be affected by the chest

No.
The chest preserves food and perishable items. A spell is not food or a perishable item.
