By default, the kong gateway has a time out of 60 sec (60000 ms) and 5 retries. You can increase it if the response is taking time.

Here is the solution for increasing the timeout. [https://discuss.konghq.com/t/not-able-to-update-connect-timeout-using-admin-api/10063?u=iavinas](https://discuss.konghq.com/t/not-able-to-update-connect-timeout-using-admin-api/10063)
