Append job gets stuck in pending state indefinitely

[anandak]

Describe the bug
While appending a featurecollection to an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer, the append job sometimes gets stuck in pending state and the script does not progress further. It remains stuck at that moment and there is no way out but to kill it.
When I looked at the fiddler log I was able to see that job status was continuously getting queried as expected, but it kept returning pending until eventually I killed it.

I am appending data in batches of 500 features, so its not a lot of data being pushed and the layer too does not have more than couple of hundred features. But after a couple of batches, it will suddenly get stuck and not move forward. The job status keeps getting returned as pending.

Please see the attached har and fiddler saz dump file which shows the first couple of append jobs succeed and then get stuck.

Can you please suggest if there is a way to use a timeout here, as I waited almost 2 hours, but the job did not complete.
