# Gitaly timeouts
2020-06-12 03:08:22 +00:00
2020-03-03 15:08:08 +00:00
3 timeout types can be configured to make sure that long running
Gitaly calls don't needlessly take up resources.
- Default timeout
This timeout is the default for most Gitaly calls.
It should be shorter than the worker timeout that can be configured
for
[Puma ](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/puma.html#puma-settings )
or [Unicorn ](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/unicorn.html ).
This makes sure that Gitaly calls made within a web request cannot
exceed these the entire request timeout.
The default for this timeout is 55 seconds.
- Fast timeout
This is the timeout for very short Gitaly calls.
The default for this timeout is 10 seconds.
- Medium timeout
This timeout should be between the default and the fast timeout
The default for this timeout is 30 seconds.
