Is there a possibility that log acquisition operations are duplicated?

Hi, all
 
・The log acquisition interval is 60 seconds
・When request_timeout is longer than the default 60 seconds

Is there a possibility that log acquisition operations are duplicated as described below?
     Example: When the retrieval interval is 60 seconds and the timeout is 90 seconds
 
              06:00:00 Acquisition Sample-A Starts
      06:01:00 Acquisition Sample-B Starts
      06:01:20 Acquisition Sample-A Ends

Depending on the nature of the API and/or how it is used, starting a new acquisition before the previous one has completed runs the risk of duplicating data.  IMO, the timeout should be less than the interval.
