Same question.
It fails to batch when there're other async functions around, more specifically, when using node-fetch in the async functions.

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
import DataLoader from 'data-loader';

const normalAsyncFunction = () => fetch('www.test.url');
const myDataLoader = new DataLoader((keys) => keys);

const myFunc = () => {
    await normalAsyncFunction(); // doesn't batch when this function is around
    await myDataLoader.load(1);
}
