Preventing Bleak bluetooth disconnect from asyncio timeout in Python?

Question

I have a small Python application that uses a ttkbootstrap GUI and connects to a BLE service via Bleak. Since the ttkbootstrap GUI runs in an endless loop, I have separated the operation into it's own thread. I am attempting to disconnect the Bluetooth connection upon closing the window - the connection is successfully broken, however the program hangs for ~2min until I receive the following timeout error message:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\bleak\backends\winrt\client.py", line 498, in disconnect
    await event.wait()
  File "C:\Python310\lib\asyncio\locks.py", line 213, in wait
    await fut
  File "C:\Python310\lib\asyncio\futures.py", line 284, in __await__
    yield self  # This tells Task to wait for completion.

    future.result()
  File "C:\Python310\lib\asyncio\futures.py", line 196, in result
    raise exc
asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "C:\Python310\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1921, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)

    return await self._backend.disconnect()

    async with async_timeout(120):
  File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\async_timeout\__init__.py", line 129, in __aexit__

  File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\async_timeout\__init__.py", line 212, in _do_exit
    raise asyncio.TimeoutError
asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError

How can I prevent this error from occurring?
