Proposed fix: [openai-python] Calls hang for up to ~30 minutes: default 10-minute timeout retried twice; streams raise APITimeoutError/APIConnectionError and are never auto-retried
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Set explicit timeouts (httpx2.Timeout with short connect, bounded read) and max_retries per call type; for streams, implement application-level resume/retry logic.
Option: Configure timeouts/retries explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Agents and batch workers
Steps:
1. OpenAI(timeout=httpx2.Timeout(60.0, connect=5.0), max_retries=2)
2. Use client.with_options(timeout=...) for long reasoning calls
3. Wrap stream iteration with your own retry that tolerates duplicate partial output
Expected: Failures surface quickly; long calls still allowed where intended.
