Description

By default fetch times out after 30 seconds. This causes issues like https://github.com/nodejs/undici/issues/1248

Chrome has 300 second time out.

Please set default unidici fetch timeout to 300 seconds by default.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the default timeout constant in the undici source code (likely in lib/fetch/constants.js or similar) and change it from 30 to 300 seconds. Verify the change passes tests and consider any side effects like potential resource exhaustion.
