The Asynchronous Authorized Session API needs to support max_allowed_time as a parameter to the request method, to allow users to configure the total method execution time i.e. if the method is run longer than this, then a timeout exception is raised.

An asynchronous timeout context manager can be implemented to support this, similar to google.auth.transport.requests.TimeoutGuard which will enforce timeout on an asynchronous block of code using asyncio.wait_for() and keep the timeout logic separate from the core AuthorizedSession.request API logic.

Why do we not re-use the synchronous timeout guard?

• to keep the sync and async code paths separate.
• It is implemented specifically to support the timeout type for the underlying requests API i.e. a tuple.
• It will not enforce timeout on an async block of code and will not raise an exception until the async block of code has completed.
