`account.get()` sometimes times out in functions

Hi,

I'm trying to provide an API to let users from a c++ app call some functions of my Appwrite site. I've written a function to get a Client that is authenticated with a JWT token, that also verifies that it can get a valid account using that token:

import { Client, Account } from 'node-appwrite';

export function getAnonClient() {
    return new Client()
        .setEndpoint('https://appwrite.cloud.virplugs.com/v1')
        .setProject(process.env.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID!);
}

export async function getUserClient(req: Request, verify = false) {
    let user_jwt = null;
    if (req.headers['x-appwrite-user-jwt']) {
        user_jwt = req.headers['x-appwrite-user-jwt'];
    } else if (req.headers['authorization']) {
        user_jwt = req.headers['authorization'].replace('Bearer ', '');
    } else {
        return null;
    }

    const userClient = getAnonClient().setJWT(user_jwt);

    if (verify) {
        try {
            const account = new Account(userClient);
            await account.get();
        } catch (e) {
            return null;
        }
    }

    return userClient;
}

The point of this function is to get a Client object that is authorized with a JWT token that the user provides (either through the x-appwrite-user-jwt header or a regular JWT Bearer token. I get the user JWT token by requesting /v1/account/sessions/email followed by a /v1/account/jwt. That works nicely.

The code above works 90% of the time. But sometimes the line await account.get(); just doesn't resolve. It hangs there until the fuction gets killed because of a timeout. If I retry the exact same call, it works. It's just very random when it's timing out.

Any pointers to what might causing this? Maybe I'm doing things very wrong. I'm using the node-20.0 runtime.

Also, I have no idea how to debug this, the docker logs show nothing interesting (even with development env var on)…

Kind regards, Bas
