When does this happen?

IF Elicitation requests for tool inputs timeout after 2-3 seconds even though the SDK defaults to 60 seconds, when the server is stateless.

How others solved it

THEN Ensure the MCP server is stateful and manages sessions properly for elicitation and sampling. If your server is stateless, implement session persistence or use a stateful middleware to maintain context across requests. Also verify that the `elicitInput` options parameter timeout is not inadvertently overridden to a low value.
