Client not honoring the timeout

1

_client = new JsonApiClient(baseUrl);
_client.GetHttpClient().Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);

It seems like it is not honoring the timeout. Am I doing something wrong?

That’s how you would set the Timeout on the underlying HttpClient that JsonApiClient uses.

You can also set a lower limit on a per request basis if you need a lower timeout than the default timeout.

var requestTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(totalSeconds);
using (var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(requestTimeout))
{
    var response = await client.SendAsync(requestDto, cts.Token);
}

Alternatively you can get it to use your own custom configured HttpClient by passing it in the constructor where its BaseAddress is configured to the BaseUrl:

var client = new JsonApiClient(MyHttpClient);
