Timeout on realnet waiting for task

[Lachstec]

For some reason, there can be timeouts in the main loop when waiting for tasks that are meant for the realnet. The corresponding line in the code is the following:

logger.info(f"Checking for consumer message in main loop for realnet...")
message = kafka_client.poll(consumer, config.sync_interval)
if message is None:
    logger.error(f"Timeout while waiting for task for realnet")
    kafka_client.close()
    exit(1)

I have the feeling that this timeout is not really necessary, since it should not be an issue if the realnet does not get messages for a timeperiod. Maybe keep this on record if issues arise in the future.
