When does this happen?

IF After upgrading LiteLLM from v1.61.3 to v1.73.6-stable, frequent false 'Requests are hanging' alarms occur for deepseek-r1 model despite actual request times being under 300 seconds.

How others solved it

THEN Inspect the hanging_request_check.py module for flaws in timeout detection, such as incorrect counter resets or stale state. Adjust detection logic to avoid false positives, e.g., increase grace period or validate against actual request duration from load balancer logs.
