title: Fetch/Axios await/async not working inside NextJS API
body: <p>This is working:</p>
  <pre><code>function myApi(req, res) {
    fetch(url, opt).then();
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>This not:</p>
  <pre><code>async function myApiAsync(req, res) {
    await fetch(url, opt);
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>This causes a memory leak:</p>
  <pre><code>async function myApiAsyncAlternative(req, res) {
    await fetch(url, opt).then();
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>I've to note that I'm making a call no another NextJS API inside this API.</p>
  <p>With <code>await</code> the function never reaches the next line. It makes the request, because if for example, I skip the headers, I get a 401 error. Neither working with Axios.</p>
