✅ Per request timeout
Is there any way to control the timeout period of a HttpClient on the request side instead of from the client itself? It feels a little bizarre that a class that's recommended to only be instantiated once and shared across the app controls timeouts from the client

I don't think there's a way to set it on a HttpRequestMessage, but you can just use a cancellationtoken on every httpclient method
Pretty sure that's how the client implements the timeout itself as well anyways
@Ploot @Sossenbinder that appears to be 100% accurate per the docs:
