sinon useFakeTimers not resolving last promise-timeout, test times out

Question

I want to test my logic and ensure that I don't exceed a limit of X requests every X seconds. Using mocha@^9.1.3, chai@^4.3.4 and sinon@^12.0.1, latest versions as of this comment.

I've read answers to very similar problems to mine, tried applying the knowledge gained but to no avail:

1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/52196951 — great explanation as to the why, however I must've misunderstood something
2. https://stackoverflow.com/a/55448441 — similar to 1.
3. https://stackoverflow.com/a/43048888, https://stackoverflow.com/a/60629795 — adding clock.tickAsync inside the wait utility function would not let me step through the code

I have a wait utility function looking like this:

const wait = (ms: number) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

and my code to reproduce my issue in my test file looks like (please do read comments in code):

import sinon from 'sinon';
import got from 'got';

describe('sinon usefaketimers promise-timeouts', () => {
  let clock: sinon.SinonFakeTimers;

  beforeEach(() => {
    clock = sinon.useFakeTimers({ toFake: ['setTimeout'] });
    // i've also tried this
    // clock = sinon.useFakeTimers();
  });

  afterEach(() => {
    clock.restore();
  });

  it('steps through all promise-timeouts manually', async () => {
    const main = async () => {
      console.log('starting');
      await wait(1000);
      console.log('waited 1s');
      await wait(1000);
      console.log('waited 2s');
      // switching out `got()` below to `await Promise.resolve()`
      // finishes the test successfully
      await got('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1').json(); // <-- switch to `await Promise.resolve()` makes it work
      console.log('request done');
      await wait(1000);
      console.log('waited 3s');
    };

    const promise = main();

    await clock.tickAsync(1000); // I have tried adding different combinations
    await clock.tickAsync(1000); // of `await Promise.resolve()` after the tick(s)
    await clock.tickAsync(1000);

    return promise;
  });
});

and the resulting output is, (it hangs after "request done", missing the last line "waited 3s"):

starting
waited 1s
waited 2s
request done

Note, I've tried switching out got to superagent and node-fetch without any success. I'm not entirely sure why they would be any different from Promise.resolve as they are all promises returned and awaited on.

Really hope to clear up whatever I didn't get from reading above questions (and so many other threads) from yesterday and todays debugging.
