Hey David, I guess you're looking for a preemptive timeout. I guess an alarm signal and PHP's async signal handling will be your best bet here.
In case you're looking for a cooperative timeout, https://amphp.org/ and it's `Amp\Promise\timeout()` / `TimeoutCancellationToken` might be helpful. Best, Niklas Am Sa., 16.
