Description of the bug

My command inside handlers like :on-hover times out very often, usually after not interacting with the element for a while. Most of my commands are just simple eww update var=value calls, so I'm not sure why it's timing out. I've tried setting the :timeout to a high value like "5s", but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Looking at eww logs, I can see that commands often time out instantly as you click/hover over the element.

Reproducing the issue

Use a widget that has any kind of handlers and add a command to it.

Expected behaviour

:timeout should have some kind of effect

Additional context

I have a slow computer, so that might be one of the factors causing the timeout.
