How long is it safe to only have temporary filling after root canal?

Hello!

A few weeks ago my tooth hurt but since shelter in place is taking place, my dentist was only able to get work done on me today.

The dentist told me it's a 4 visit process.

I went ahead and got a root canal and I have a temporary weird filling thing on that tooth.

My next steps are crown lengthening and then I guess buildup and then permanent crown?

Due to shelter in place, my next visit for the crown lengthening is June 3rd, about a month from now.

My tooth area kinda hurts but that makes sense due them having to poke around that area, but I can't really eat properly and have been only able to have soft foods.

Do you guys think it's 100% okay for me to only have this temporary cover until June 3rd or is a month too long with just this cover?

Thank you so much!
