GuzzleHttp\Client is created without a timeout. Guzzle's default of 0 waits indefinitely, so a slow or unresponsive upstream holds the PHP worker serving this request until the web server kills it.

Category: RESILIENCE · Engine rule severity: INFO

How to fix it

Pass 'timeout' (total seconds) and 'connect_timeout' in the client options, for example new Client(['base_uri' => $url, 'timeout' => 10, 'connect_timeout' => 3]).
