Answer
Setting timeouts too high can degrade performance.
Setting HTTP timeouts too high can result in applications waiting too long for responses, impacting user experience and resource management. Conversely, timeouts set too low may cause premature request failures. A balanced timeout configuration ensures reliability without unnecessary delays.
