Context Canceled when using Go with BigQuery

Question

I am trying to insert a record to biqquery & here the code which does the insert.

func (s *Storage) Insert(w *warehouse.WarehouseRecord) error {
   event, err := w.Marshal()
   if err != nil {
      return err
   }
   logger.Info("inserting record to big query")
   ins := s.client.Dataset(s.dataSet).Table(event.GetTableName()).Inserter()
   ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
   defer cancel()
   if err := ins.Put(ctx, event); err != nil {
      return err
   }
   return nil
}

When i run my application, the insert fails with error. The error says context canceled, but I am not canceling the context from parent, I suspect its happening inside the client package. Have any one of you come across this error?

Perhaps the context you've given on initialisation of foo.NewClient(ctx, ...) is canceled. This context should not be canceled, see doc:

// Do not cancel the context passed to NewClient: dialing happens asynchronously and the context is used to refresh credentials in the background.
