Lesson 5, "Deploying, please wait..." TimedOut Error & Network Error

[paulcoffee85]

After downgrading from v6 to v5.7.2 which fixed the TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'JsonRpcProvider') Issue. I was finally able to get the code to work as far as: "Please wait, Deploying contract"
Everything seems fine in the code. Alchemy and MM are both open.

Deploying, please wait...

Deploy .JS

//compile in code
const { Wallet } = require("ethers")
const ethers = require("ethers")
const fs = require("fs")
require("dotenv").config()

async function main() {
    let provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.RPC_URL)
    let wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, provider)
 

    const abi = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi", "utf8")
    const binary = fs.readFileSync(
        "./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin",
        "utf8"
    )
    const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet)
    console.log("Please wait, Deploying contract")
    const contract = await contractFactory.deploy()
    await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1)
    console.log(`Contract Address: ${contract.address}`)

    

    const currentFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve()
    console.log(`Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}`)

    const transactionResponse = await contract.store("7")
    const transactionReceipt = await transactionResponse.wait(1)
    const updatedFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve()
    console.log(`Updatedfavorite number is: ${updatedFavoriteNumber}`)
  
}

main()
    .then(() => process.exit(0))
    .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error)
        process.exit(1)
    })

The results were TimedOUT Error and Network Error. After several attempts, it kept giving me these erros.
I turned off the pc for night, Next day turned it on, first thing after open vsc and ran node deploy.js, it worked perfectly fine and returned results in under a 30 seconds.
