# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Portal fetch timeout not actually enforced

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug where the supposed wall-clock timeout on portal account fetching was not truly bounded — the ThreadPoolExecutor join would block indefinitely. These items address enforcing the timeout so that usage and billing endpoints release promptly when the portal stalls.
