I am getting the following error in metricbeat deployment that is configured to fetch and push metrics from kube-state-metrics.

```auto
2021-06-30T19:25:11.318Z	ERROR	[kubernetes.state_statefulset]	state_statefulset/state_statefulset.go:97	decoding of metric family failed: context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout or context cancellation while reading body)

```

Metricbeat config:

```auto
metricbeat:
  modules:
  - add_metadata: "true"
    hosts:
    - kube-state-metrics.monitoring:8080
    metricsets:

    - state_statefulset

```

I think metricbeat is timing out getting the metrics from kube-state-metrics but I am not sure how to fix this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
