What problem are you trying to solve?
We saw an issue recently where our authentication requests (specifically the token call) timed out after 2 minutes, which ended up increasing our response times dramatically. It woul be nice to be able to configure a timeout ourselves to allow requests to fail faster, since we don't expect them to take anywhere near that long.
Do you have a new or modified API suggestion to solve the problem?
Add a timeout option to the provider options
