This is only an issue when the RPC is down, and hopefully ethers takes care of it at some point

Isn't this draining the CI credits though 🤔

@hiletmis questioned this as well, does it not time out at 50 seconds anyway?

I have tried creating an invalid provider. @api3/promise-utils timeout works as expected. It timeouts.

That is the client side timeout only - it doesn't stop the underlying thing from running (that's why Airseeker needs to have this patched).

timeout works as expected. It timeouts.

The question is whether the verification script finishes after the timeout or waits for the underlying calls to finish (which I've not checkd)

Verification script finishes, does not wait for calls to finish. I have also set timeout to 10ms to see if it works for valid providers and it finished right away.
