Is it common to have a pin add command stuck at a particular CID?

Help

I’m running ipfs pin add bafybeifn7mfodhprlrd4fy6y2robhh2ksztyp7te6ecfw7am6bpxopsyma

and it’s stuck there for like hours.

Is there a way to configure a timeout on IPFS node?

This is golang code and like almost all golang codes this uses context.Context propagation, that means you can CTRL + C, kill, … your CLI, this is gonna create an HTTP connection error which will be propagated and the pin will stop.
example using timeout:

$ timeout 5m ipfs pin add Qmfoo

You can also see what CID it is stuck with watch ipfs stats bitswap

Thanks so much for replying all my posts. Yesterday I’ve been running lots of pin add bafyxxxxx and all seems fine.

But today, I ran the below and keep getting timeouts.

How to resolve this? I’ve restarted by daemon and added DHT too.

It seems to be working now. But why i can’t pin some CIDs while the CIDs are there on IPFS network?
