@kapa.ai on the low code connection builder, can I set a call timeout to prevent hangs?

There’s no mention in the provided docs of a per-API-call timeout that you can configure inside a low-code (CDK) connector to prevent individual calls from hanging. What is documented instead are platform-level timeouts/heartbeats: - Schema discovery / HTTP timeouts can be raised at the platform level (e.g., via Helm values like
HTTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT
and
READ_TIMEOUT
) to handle long-running discovery operations, not per-call logic in the connector itself.[\[Scaling Airbyte\]](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/enterprise-setup/scaling-airbyte#schema-discovery-timeouts) - Sync heartbeats and destination timeouts are controlled globally via
flags.yaml
(e.g.,
heartbeat-max-seconds-between-messages
,
destination-timeout-max-seconds
), again at platform level, not at connector-definition level.[\[Heartbeats\]](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/understanding-airbyte/heartbeats#technical-details) Individual connectors sometimes expose connection/read timeout parameters in their JDBC URL / advanced settings (e.g., Postgres
connectTimeout
, Oracle
oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT
), but those are connector-specific configuration fields, not a general low-code “call timeout” feature.[\[Postgres destination\]](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/postgres#naming-conventions)[\[Oracle source\]](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/oracle#getting-started-airbyte-open-source) So based on the available documentation, there is no documented way to define a generic API-call timeout directly in the low-code connection builder. You’d need to rely on platform-level timeouts/heartbeats or connector-specific options where they exist.
