### Custom Timeouts, Stream Timeouts - Per Model
For each model you can set `timeout` & `stream_timeout` under `litellm_params`
### Custom Timeouts & Stream Timeouts (Per Model)
For each model, you can set `timeout` and `stream_timeout` under `litellm_params`:
- **`timeout`** → maximum time for the *complete response*.
Use this to cap long-running completions.
- **`stream_timeout`** → maximum time to wait for the *first chunk* (i.e., first token) in a streaming response.
Use this to abort “hanging” providers (e.g., Bedrock slow start) and retry another model.
