Fetch fails when exceeding a certain execution time even-though using proper CORS headers

I have been stuck with a weird issue with CORS for quite some time now. To explain the setup I have a frontend JS snippet (including fetch API call to my own server) which I want to use as an embed code snippet other web applications can use. (ex: kind of like google analytics)

// JS snippet to copy to an unknown website 

<script>
// extract data and add to the body
const extracted_data = {}

fetch("https://api.xxxx.com/xxxxxx/create", {
        method: "POST",
        mode: 'cors',
        body: JSON.stringify(extracted_data),
        referrer: "origin",
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
    })
        .then(function (response) {
            // The API call was successful!
            if (response.ok) {
                return response.json();
            } else {
                return Promise.reject(response);
            }
        })
        .then(function (data) {
            // This is the JSON from our response
            console.warn("Successfull!", data);
            alert("Success:" + JSON.stringify(data));
        })
        .catch(function (err) {
            // There was an error
            console.warn("Something went wrong ->", err);
            alert("error:" + err.message);
        });

</script>

enter image description here

The problem is even if I have set my fetch API as below and the correct CORS headers are in my preflight response from my API it works only when the API call resolves immediately. If the API takes more time Fetch throws this common error even if the preflight is successful.

TypeError: Failed to fetch

I verified it using adding the below code to my API. Then it stops working and throws the above error. When I don't have any time taking functions inside my API call it works without errors.

 // 10 sec delay to check async behavior of the API
 await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10000));

Any recommendations on how I should proceed to resolve this?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
