Can’t Polytheists abuse 9:6 by repeatedly seeking protection?

Allah said: > And if anyone of the polytheists seek your protection then grant him protection until he hears (the) Words of Allah. Then escort him (to) his place of safety. That (is) because they (are) a people (who) do not know.
**[ Corpus Quran 9:6 ]** Lets say we are waging Jihad against the kuffar. Since Allah **commanded** us to grant protection to anyone from The polytheists who seeks it then cant they just abuse this verse as a way of repeatedly escaping death? i.e Whenever the mushrik is about to be killed he requests protection, and the muslim is obligated to grant him it.
