Is there a way for setting maximal waiting time for broken links?

Question

It happens quite often that when opening an ArcGIS Pro project, the link to an ArcGIS Server layer is broken because there is a problem with the server. Currently, it takes a very long time (> 10 minutes) until the project opens and the layer displays with a broken link. I found another post addressing this issue:

Is there a way for setting a maximum waiting time for a layer with broken links? This would be great.

At my work the problem delay isn't with file geodatabase but with SQL database connections.  So I hope that that's fixed too.

Holly,

no, I didn't figure it out. However, I'm in the Beta Testing program for ArcGIS Pro 3.3, and I tried to open a project with a broken link to a gdb on a remote machine. The project opens fast. So I conclude that this issue is fixed in version 3.3.

@BarbaraSchneider2 Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I'm struggling with the same problem in Pro 3.2.2. I don't recall ever having a problem with projects opening more slowly when items have broken links in the past.
