Wed, 06 Sep 2023 16:23:25 GMT | Error: The operation was canceled.

Seems like the timeout is "working" as the download stops, but the job step hangs forever unless it is manually canceled instead of failing or succeeding as a cache-miss.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided actions/cache@v3 step with a cache download that times out, using the log to confirm that restoration stops but the job remains running. Trace the timeout and cache-miss handling, and consider the issue done when the step terminates with a defined failure or cache-miss result instead of hanging until manual cancellation.
