typing context not exiting after a webhook is called about hikari

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification!

This is working as intended (on Discords end). The typing context manager will keep sending the typing indicator to Discord every 9 seconds, and Discord clients remove the typing indicator as soon as they receive a message from the account that triggered the indicator.

In this case, you are never sending a message as the account that triggered the indicator, but as a webhook. The typing status removal that you see is that of the timeout of 10 seconds happening and you already being out of the context manager, leading hikari to not send any further typing indicators.

And just for completion in this answer, no, there is no way to send a webhook typing indicator at this point in time. You will have to open a feature request in the Discord GitHub Repository.

As there is nothing we can do here, I will be closing this issue.
