Solutions

1. Complete the browser authentication promptly and try again.

When it happens

Trigger: Fires when the Hub authentication flow does not complete within the allowed time window.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.

Understand the failure class

• Timeouts: ETIMEDOUT, deadlines, and hung requests — what actually expires when a request times out.
• Authentication and authorization failures — expired tokens, bad credentials, and missing scopes.
