# Objective
- Stop language-server update checks from waiting forever.
**Note:** I tried to find any existing issue but no luck.
## Solution
- Set one time limit for the full response body. If the GitHub, for
example, release request stops responding, return an error. Do not let
it block language-server update checks without limit.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
1. This is a flaky issue, reproducing it is not that trivial.
2. The easiest way I found is just restarting Zed until you get the
notification in the status bar `Checking for updates
<language_server_naem>`
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
No
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
See above.
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
- macOS
- Linux
