Request timed out error when using OpenAI LLM in AI Agent

[DomBe]

Hi,

I have an AI agent where I use Open AI (GPT 5 mini) as LLM and I’m getting a request timed out error after the 3rd or 4th item that is processed in the workflow loop.

Anyone experienced the same and has already found a solution for this?

Thanks,
Dom

Hi there @DomBe , you can setup the timeout option here

increase the time so that it will not get timed out easily

[DomBe]

Thanks. However, I already did that. And 60000 should be long enough I guess.

aah, okay, and from what i noticed you mention the ai agent is insid a workflow loop, does that mean a loop over items?

if it is then i think that should be correct, have you also implemented a wait node after every item? this is to avoid the timed out, something like this

[DomBe]

yes, it is inside a loop. I haven’t implemented a wait node because I thought/hoped the increased time out will be enough. But I’ll give it a try.

sure thing men, let me know if there’s anymore problem that i can help you with, and if the wait node is enough then please mark my answer as the solution, thank you!
