Ansible ping module, "timeout" argument is ignored

[setpill]

We have a task at the start of every deployment that tests for the presence of legacy credentials. It is of the form:

- name: Determine hosts with "{{ legacy_user }}" credentials
  ansible.builtin.wait_for_connection:
    timeout: 1
  register: legacy_reachable
  ignore_errors: yes
  vars:
    ansible_user: "{{ legacy_user }}"
    ansible_password: "{{ legacy_pass }}"

Without mitogen, this task returns in 1 second. With mitogen, it takes over 1 minute.

I had hoped a #1200 might fix this, however even with mitogen 0.3.22 it is still slow.

I tried rewriting the above in an attempt to streamline things;

- name: Determine hosts with "{{ legacy_user }}" credentials
  ansible.builtin.ping:
    timeout: 1
  register: legacy_reachable
  ignore_unreachable: true
  vars:
    ansible_user: "{{ legacy_user }}"
    ansible_password: "{{ legacy_pass }}"

Unfortunately, it made no difference, so it seems the problem is not specific to the module mentioned.

@setpill

1. does this still occur?
2. what version of Ansible and Mitogen are you using now?
3. what is the error when it times out?
