Description
I have been using TESScut to cut 90*90 FFIs and it worked fine until recently. Now it is stuck at downloading and then gives a timeout error.
```
from astroquery.mast import Tesscut
ra = '60'
dec = '60'
coord = SkyCoord(ra, dec, unit="deg")
sector_table = Tesscut.get_sectors(coordinates=coord)
hdulist = Tesscut.get_cutouts(coordinates=coord, size=90)
```
Any help is appreciated!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the example with astroquery.mast.Tesscut, especially get_cutouts(coordinates=coord, size=90), and compare it with a smaller cut. Check whether the timeout occurs while downloading or in the Tesscut request itself. Done means the reported 90×90 FFI request completes reliably or the failure is clearly documented with a confirmed cause.
