This is the complete code that shows the issue:
GeoNearest["ZIPCode", GeoPosition[{40.11, -88.24}], {All, Quantity[5,"Miles"]}]
Error message:
A network operation for Geonearest timed out. Please try again later.

I am using the WOLFRAM PROGRAMMING LAB with a URL that starts with https://lab.wolframcloud.com
Which notebook is this from in the programming lab?
GeoNearest queries can be very complicated and take a massive amount of computation to do. This example looks difficult. Maybe there’s a better example?
If you need All within a given radius, you may also try GeoEntities, which is faster:
GeoEntities[GeoDisk[GeoPosition[{40.11, -88.24}], Quantity[5, "Miles"]], "ZIPCode"]
{Entity["ZIPCode", "61824"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61825"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61801"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61874"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61802"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61821"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61822"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61803"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61820"], Entity["ZIPCode", "61826"]}
It is not a standard notebook in the Programming lab. I was trying to duplicate the functionality of Wolfram | Alpha.
GeoEntities works for me.
Thank you.
