Describe the bug

Pretty minor, but withi v0.8.5 an error appears at the top saying:

\[!] Warning: TIMEOUT is set too low! (currently set to TIMEOUT=3000 seconds)
    You must allow *at least* 5 seconds for indexing and archive methods to run succesfully.
    (Setting it to somewhere between 30 and 3000 seconds is recommended)

This seems to appear for any timeout value (I previously had 60 seconds and got the same error)

Steps to reproduce

Run ArchiveBox with the config below (the error appears at least with add and --version)
Observe the error at the top of the output

[SERVER_CONFIG]
SECRET_KEY = "secret"

[DEPENDENCY_CONFIG]
YOUTUBEDL_BINARY = "yt-dlp"
CHROME_BINARY = "chromium"

[GENERAL_CONFIG]
TIMEOUT = 3000
USE_CHROME = false

ArchiveBox version

!] Warning: TIMEOUT is set too low! (currently set to TIMEOUT=3000 seconds)
    You must allow *at least* 5 seconds for indexing and archive methods to run succesfully.
    (Setting it to somewhere between 30 and 3000 seconds is recommended)

    If you want to make ArchiveBox run faster, disable specific archive methods instead:

(I'm not sure why it says none for all of the dependencies as pretty well all of them are installed)
