Cannot connect to an API during a lifecycle hook

As in the subject,

I’m trying to connect to the AddEvent API during a lifecycle hook call. Obviously, this needs to happen quite quickly, but the data types in question are rarely updated en masse, vs one at a time.

Still, while I can connect to other APIs from the lifecycle hooks (I tried a couple of basic free REST APis and received results), connecting to the AddEvent API seems to always lead to this error:

TypeError: fetch failed
    at Object.fetch (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:11457:11)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
    at async findEventViaAPI (/Users/robdeskoski/Development/strapi/mtia-disruption-rebuild-backend/dist/src/api/disruption/content-types/disruption/API/addEvent.js:63:22) {
  cause: Error [ERR_SOCKET_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT]: Socket connection timeout

      at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:514:7) {
    code: 'ERR_SOCKET_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT'
  }

I can connect easily via POSTMAN, and I believe I have the correct details in the header:

const response = await fetch(eventsURL, {
method: ‘GET’,
headers: {
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
‘Authorization’: Bearer ${process.env.STRAPI_ADMIN_ADD_EVENT_ACCESS_TOKEN}
},
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(15000) // 15 seconds
})

Any suggestions? Is there anything I’m leaving out here?

Kind regards,
