Error: timeout of 0ms exceeded

See original GitHub issue

Sentry reported a random error coming from Axios, Error: timeout of 0ms exceeded.

Under what circumstances would this error appear? We don’t have timeout settings configured, and 0ms seems like a mighty short time for any request to finish, so why is this error thrown?

It appears to have been a one off that is not readily reproducible, so I can’t provide test code, but the underlying network error seems to have been ECONNABORTED.

Axios version 0.18.0

For everyone enjoying this bug, I managed to catch this locally and match it up with a Sentry error report. It appears that this is the result of a genuine timeout, but the reporting of ‘0ms’ is simply a bug in axios’s reporting. So the errors are valid, however they are (or were in my case) real timeouts of significantly longer duration. @adamreisnz please could you re-tag this issue as a bug, which might get it some visibility.

We are seeing this when a stalled connection times out after 30 seconds. I think maybe the errors are valid, but the length of timeout is being misreported as 0.
