Timeout Values
Start Timeouts
Timeouts Summary
| Name | Value | Notes |
"REST API GET /USER/tunnels/ID" timeout | 5 seconds | Sauce Connect Proxy "HTTP long polling" (each 5 seconds) requests to get the backend status. |
"REST API POST /USER/tunnels/ID" timeout | 10 seconds | Sauce Connect Proxy "HTTP long polling" (each 30 seconds) requests to update the client status. |
| "Tunnel provisioning" timeout | 45 seconds | Tunnel provisioning may take anywhere from 3 to 45 seconds, depending on the load and the tunnel features. |
| "Initial tunnel connection" timeout | 15 seconds | Sauce Connect Proxy tunnel must be established within this timeout after the server is provisioned. |
| "Tunnel disconnected" timeout | 60 seconds | Sauce Connect Proxy client may disconnect from the server (after establishing the initial connection) for up to 60 seconds. |
| "Jobs wait" timeout | 3 hours | On receiving a "tunnel shutdown" request, Sauce Labs REST API would wait for, at most, 3 hours for jobs, using the tunnel, to finish. Jobs that require longer time to complete may fail after the tunnel is terminated. |
