 Thanks, that's good to know. I added the `CircuitBuildTimeout` changes in
 an uncontrolled way at the same time as the idle timeout fixes in #33336,
 so it's possible they are not necessary. I'll try just removing them and
 see how it goes. What I was afraid of is a case where the first time you
 connect, you get lucky and get a working proxy on the first try, and tor
 learns a `CircuitBuildTimeout` of 60 seconds. Then then next time you
 connect, maybe it takes four tries to get a working proxy, but by then tor
 has given up according to the shorter timeout it learned. But I don't know
 if it really works like that or how eagerly tor adjusts the learned
 timeout.
