Timeout
Giving up on an operation after waiting beyond a set limit
What's it for?
Stops a system waiting forever by giving up once an agreed amount of time has passed.
For example…
An API gives up after waiting 30 seconds for a supplier response and returns a timeout rather than leaving the request hanging indefinitely
A database query exceeds its five-minute timeout, so the reporting job stops and records an error for investigation
