How do I notify-send a long command?

I want to use notify-send to show a notification every n minutes to tell me the vpn status. The command would be running in a popup terminal I have already set up, hidden from view until I need to stop the while loop, then I'd just do ctrl-c. I wrote the command below, but it errors out infinitely: Invalid number of options.

while true
do
    notify-send $(timeout 5s nordvpn status | rg -i "status|country|uptime" ; nordvpn settings | rg -i "kill switch|auto-connect")`
done

timeout 5s is there because sometimes nordvpn is not responsive, and I need to kill the command after 5 seconds. Thank you for assisting.
