The node status is not cleared in http request node after timeout error #5408
Description
Current Behavior
@osvedman kindly reported this issue in the #5240 (comment).
When the http request node encounters a timeout error, an error message appears in the node status. After the processing of the second request, the node status does not clear and remains "requesting".

This issue is from the http request counting. Currently, the count only decreases when the HTTP request finishes. However, I need the count to decrement when both an error occurs and the HTTP request finishes.
Expected Behavior
The node status should clear in the second request after an error occurs.
