+### Request timeout
+
+A single timeout based on the service can be very useful since the default fetch timeout is quite long.
+The `timeout` parameter accepts a number of milliseconds and abort any request that takes longer than that limit.

+Using an [AbortController](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController) for individual requests is still possible for more fine grained control.
+
+The example below will abort the request after 30 seconds rejecting the promise.
+
+```ts
+const service = makeService('https://example.com/api', {
+  timeout: 30000,
+})
+
+const response = await service.get("/users")
