When does this happen?

IF ReadTimeout errors when exporting spans to Langfuse Cloud, especially in environments with network latency or resource constraints.

How others solved it

THEN Increase the SDK timeout by setting the `LANGFUSE_TIMEOUT` environment variable to a higher value (e.g., 15 or 30 seconds) or passing a `timeout` argument on client initialization. Reduce the batch size of spans sent by setting `LANGFUSE_FLUSH_AT` to a lower value (e.g., 64). If using OpenTelemetry exporters, set `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT` and `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_TIMEOUT` to 30000 ms. Enable debug logging with `LANGFUSE_DEBUG='True'` to diagnose further.

import os
os.environ['LANGFUSE_TIMEOUT'] = '15'  # seconds
os.environ['LANGFUSE_FLUSH_AT'] = '64'
# For OTel:
os.environ['OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT'] = '30000'  # ms
os.environ['OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_TIMEOUT'] = '30000'
