The request is taking too long to receive a response from the middleware, how to avoid retry and set timeout to forever so it waits forever.

Because the middleware is taking too long to respond the client is making another request. How to avoid making a new request and just wait forever till it respond.

or are there anyway to tell the client to cut the request? without having to retry like cancelPromise etc.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Review the client's retry and timeout behavior first, then determine whether the requested outcome is indefinite waiting, cancellation, or both; done should be a clearly documented and tested behavior.
