Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is. If your problem is not a bug, please file under Support or Usage Question

The timeout value mentioned in the timeout error message is different from the actually applied request timeout. See the code example below.

To Reproduce

Code snippet to reproduce, ideally that will work by pasting into something like https://npm.runkit.com/axios, a hosted solution, or a repository that illustrates the issue. If your problem is not reproducible, please file under Support or Usage Question

    const agentOpts = {
      keepAlive: true,
      timeout: 60000,
    };
    const httpAgent = new http.Agent(agentOpts);
    const httpsAgent = new https.Agent(agentOpts);
    const reqOpts = {
      url: 'http://some_site_where_read_timeout_happens.com',
      method: 'GET',
      timeout: 240000,
      httpAgent,
      httpsAgent,
    };
    await axios(reqOpts);

Expected behavior

This code throws an exception, which looks like

2021-02-23 20:30:49.687 INFO  [WD Proxy] Error: timeout of 240000ms exceeded 
2021-02-23 20:30:49.688 INFO  [WD Proxy]     at createError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/axios/lib/core/createError.js:16:15)

although the actual time elapsed after the request is sent is 60 seconds, which is equal to the httpAgent option value. I expect axios to rather put the correct timeout value into the exception message or to actually wait 240 seconds, so the timeout set in request options overrides the one that is set for a http(s) agent instance.

When I tried I got the correct timeout, I think this issue should be closed.

We have the exact same issue as described here in v0.21.1.

[ifeltsweet]

This seems to be fixed in v0.21.4.

Hi 👋

Please could you retry with the latest version and open a new issue should this error still be relevant?

Thanks
