Description
See: p1710704780998839-slack-C06BDMKNBDF
Expected behavior
A shorter timeout during the site creation flow. E.g. 60s or 30s
Actual behavior
I tried to wait the network error message three times, but the timeout seems different:
- 9 mins
- 6 mins
- 22 mins
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Please use a simulator for mocking the low speed network environment.
- Login JP app
- Click you site at top.
- Click the add button for creating a new WordPress.com site
- Skip topic selection
- Skip theme selection
- Enter the domain name
- Switch your network type to GSM on the simulator
- Choose the subdomain
- You will see the Select a plan on the Toolbar, and the endless loading.
Tested on built-in simulator, Android 13, JPAndroid / WPAndroid 24.4-rc-1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the site creation flow in the Android 13 simulator with GSM network conditions, following the listed steps through domain selection and the Select a plan screen. Trace the timeout handling for the network request; done means the flow times out in about 30–60 seconds instead of showing endless loading.
