I configured metricbeat to test collection info from my AWS account and the logs show me this error:

```auto
Aug 28 16:59:22 heartbeat metricbeat[74048]: {"log.level":"info","@timestamp":"2023-08-28T16:59:22.269Z","log.logger":"cloudwatch","log.origin":{"file.name":"cloudwatch/cloudwatch.go","file.line":516},"message":"getResourcesTags failed, skipping region us-east-1: error GetResources with Paginator: operation error Resource Groups Tagging API: GetResources, https response error StatusCode: 0, RequestID: , canceled, context deadline exceeded","service.name":"metricbeat","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}
