ESM Error

[rajat12a]

node: 14.16.1
p-timeout: 5.0.0

After upgrading from version 4 to 5, getting this error

Error: Must use import to load ES Module: /app/available_modules/1620488012000/p-timeout/index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /app/available_modules/1620488012000/p-timeout/index.js from /app/index.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename /app/available_modules/1620488012000/p-timeout/index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /app/available_modules/1620488012000/p-timeout/package.json.

Since the project is using require instead of import, but after adding import statement in commonJS files

import pTimeout from 'p-timeout'
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

converting the whole project to type: module in package.json will require all the files to be converted

So is there any other way to import the new version or should stick I for version 4 only, also what about future fixes which gets pushed on version 5?
