A service call gets five seconds, a database query gets five more, and a retry gets another five. Each individual limit looks reasonable, yet the whole request can run far beyond the caller&rsquo;s budget.</p> <p>Python 3.11 added <code>asyncio.timeout()</code>, an asynchronous context manager that makes a different model practical: put a time budget around a block of work, not just around one awaitable.</p>
