public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> MakePostAsync<T>(string url, T payload, TimeSpan timeout, string token = null)
{
    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
    {
        var request = new HttpRequestMessage
        {
            Method = HttpMethod.Post,
            RequestUri = new Uri(url)
        };

        // Serialize payload to JSON and set as request content
        var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload, new JsonSerializerSettings());
        var content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
        request.Content = content;

        // Create a task that completes when the request is sent
        var requestTask = httpClient.SendAsync(request);

        // Wait for either the request to complete or the timeout to elapse
        var completedTask = await Task.WhenAny(requestTask, Task.Delay(timeout));

        // Check if the request completed successfully
        if (completedTask == requestTask)
        {
            return await requestTask;  // Return the response
        }
        else
        {
            // Request timed out, handle it accordingly
            throw new TimeoutException("The HTTP request timed out.");
        }
    }
}
