My PITR pod seems to stop working, its doing nothing for last 5 hours.

```auto
# kubectl logs -n pxctest pxctest-pitr-6ff5845d8b-pbrjp
2024/03/15 11:26:47 Starting to process binlog with name binlog.009181
2024/03/15 11:26:49 Successfully written binlog file binlog.009181 to s3 with name binlog_1710501946_de549d41a0fda813ffc31018a77b30ff
2024/03/15 11:27:06 Reading binlogs from pxc with hostname= pxctest-pxc-0.pxctest-pxc.pxctest.svc.cluster.local
2024/03/15 11:27:27 Starting to process binlog with name binlog.009182

```

So for me PITR cannot be trusted for backup, recovery or anything.

EDIT:  
No problem with primary view or any other problem was recorded in pmm durring this time

Deleting pod lead to PITR working again with apparent consistency/continuity in saved GTID sets/binlogs. In other words, seems like no logs has been lost.

In latest version 1.14 of the percona operator there is a new field under pitr section named “timeoutSeconds”. I guess it is designed to help with this issue.

Hi @jw12314 thank you for posting to the Percona forums! Can you confirm whether release 1.14 has rectified your issue?
