private suspend fun logRemotelyBestEffort(info: LogMessage) {
        try {
            withTimeout(1000) {
                pushApiClient.log(info)
            }
        } catch (ex: Exception) {
            when (ex) {
                is TimeoutCancellationException -> Unit
                is CancellationException -> throw ex
                else -> ...
            }
        }
    }

I hear I'm not supposed to catch CancellationException or I'll break coroutines. But then TimeoutCancellationException extends CancellationException

Is that fine to catch? Or should withContext be outside the try catch?

[ephemient]

you can catch it, but it is possible that it is an exception thrown by something other than your timeout (e.g. perhaps propagated from a call made within the logging implementation)

[ephemient]

it may be easier to use withTimeoutOrNull()

oh the orNull variant, thanks!
