ptb
performs HTTPS requests using urllib3
. urllib3
provides control over connect_timeout
& read_timeout
. urllib3
does not separate between what would be considered read & write timeout, so read_timeout
serves for both. The defaults chosen for each of these parameters is 5 seconds.
The read_timeout
is overwritten to 20 seconds when using send methods which attach files (send_audio
, send_document
, etc.).
When sending big files, calling Bot.send_*(timeout=BIGGER_VALUE)
might be a good idea.
The connect_timeout
value controls the timeout for establishing a connection to the Telegram server(s).
Changing the defaults of read_timeout
& connet_timeout
can be done by adjusting values request_kwargs
section in ETM's config.yaml
.
# ...
request_kwargs:
read_timeout: 6
connect_timeout: 7
