Answer
They can lead to premature tripping, affecting service availability.
Setting aggressive timeouts can cause Circuit Breakers to trip too quickly, rejecting valid requests and reducing service availability. Balancing timeouts is crucial; they should reflect realistic service response times. In a checkout process, an overly aggressive timeout might prevent successful transactions even if the payment service is slightly slow.
