Connect-phase timeouts raise ConnectionTimeoutError, sock_read timeouts raise SocketTimeoutError (both ServerTimeoutError / asyncio.TimeoutError subclasses).\n\nFix status: documented_behavior\n\nMisleading approaches:\n- Raising total to a larger fixed value — the stream still dies when the model takes longer; use sock_read for idle detection instead.\n\nLimitations:\n- Frameworks wrapping aiohttp may override the default; check the effective ClientTimeout.\n\nOther error fragments:\n- Timeout on reading data from socket\n\nEvidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):\n- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/master/docs/client_quickstart.rst (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): By default aiohttp uses a total 300 s (5 min) timeout for the whole operation; sock_connect default 30 s; sock_read is the max period between reading data portions.\n- https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/2d/4d/4a99fb425c5e0cad715eea7bd190aff46f38b959a0a2dadb993705d34b26/aiohttp-3.14.3-cp310-cp310-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl#aiohttp/client.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = ClientTimeout(total=5 * 60, sock_connect=30);
