Hi there, I am a new IPFS user and as I was trying to upload photos to IFPS via infura (first pic), I got this error message (second pic). I am wondering why this is happening. Many thanks.

```
const {create} = require('ipfs-http-client')
                    const client = create(new URL("https://ipfs.io/ipfs"));
                    client.add(that.fileBase64).then((res) => {
                        console.log(res)
                    })

```

That seems to be a question for infura, as it’s an IPFS node provided by them that is timing out.
