[marquiswang]

What features would you like to see added?

Add the ability to configure a timeout for actions.

More details

I have some actions that take a couple minutes. It seems like Librechat errors out with Error connecting to server, try refreshing the page. in the GUI after 60-ish seconds.

Command was run at 12:23:55-ish, and in the GUI it showed the error approximately at 12:24:55.

In the Librechat logs I see:

2025-04-10 12:24:55 error: [api/server/controllers/agents/client.js #sendCompletion] Operation aborted Aborted
2025-04-10 12:25:57 error: API call to action.server failed No response received for GET http://action.server/action/parameters: read ECONNRESET

Which components are impacted by your request?

The timeout is happening due to something at the network level severing the connection. Typically NGINX will cut requests at 60 seconds and other reverse proxies may do the same. Some hosting providers (Cloudflare) will also cut off the request at 60 seconds.

If you set up NGINX as reverse proxy, it is proxy_read_timeout.
For example, nginx.conf for https reverse proxy and timeout after 400 seconds:

server {
   listen 443 ssl http2;
   listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
   proxy_read_timeout 400;
