In my case 'await' never finished because of exception while executing the request, e.g. server not responding, etc. Surround it with try..catch to identify what happened, it'll also completes your 'await' gracefully.

public async Task GetStuff(string id)
{
    string path = $"/api/v2/stuff/{id}";
    try
    {
        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(path);
        if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
        {
            string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            return JsonUtility.FromJson(json);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError($"Could not retrieve stuff {id}");
        }
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        Debug.LogError($"Exception when retrieving stuff {exception}");
    }
    return null;
}
