Thanks for reaching out, Mohammed. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
The error you encountered, 
APITimeoutError
, occurs when a speech synthesis request in LiveKit takes longer than the specified timeout period. This is a retryable error, meaning the system will attempt to retry the request based on configured parameters such as maximum retry attempts, timeout duration, and retry intervals. If all retry attempts are exhausted, the error is propagated to the caller. This can happen due to network latency, server-side delays, or other factors affecting the API's response time.
