whats the lowest i should go on min_endpointing_delay

Thanks for reaching out, Ethan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Just to share some helpful info, the lowest recorded value for `min_endpointing_delay` is 0.4 seconds (400 ms), although the default usually sits around 0.5 seconds (500 ms). There isn’t a strict minimum, but if it’s set too low—close to 0 seconds—it might cause interruptions during natural pauses when someone is speaking.

If you'd like, I’m here to help you find the best value for your specific use case or the types of conversations you’re working with. Just let me know!
