The way to handle this case is to use Promise.race with 2 promises. The first promise is your logic. The second promise is rejected after a timeout. For more detail read the section "never calling the callback" from "you don't know js" book on "async" in chapter 3 https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/async...

But that doesn't actually cancel the request, and thusly the data is downloaded anyway? Or am I missing something?
