Resolving API Timeout Issues with Custom Assistants

·Mar 05, 2025 08:22 AM·

Hey, got an issue using an assistant I created through API. Ii always timed out as processing for the answer takes quite some time. I had to split my initial agent into 2 in order to make it work. Was wondering if there was any other solution.

Hi, do you use any third party (zapier, etc) to run the queries or you run them yourself?

Yeah, make has a timeout that we don't have an impact on unfortunately https://community.make.com/t/timeout-request-can-it-be-increased/7793

We advise moving to something like pipedream where you can pick the timeout you want 🙂

It work if you use dust though API with a sleep module between the request and the retrieval of the answer
