When does this happen?

IF Requests with long input, long output, or high max_tokens timing out

How others solved it

THEN Enable streaming for any request that may involve long input, long output, or high max_tokens. Use the SDK's .get_final_message() (Python) or .finalMessage() (TypeScript) helper to get the complete response without manually handling individual stream events.

# Python
stream = client.messages.create(model='claude-opus-4-7', messages=[...], max_tokens=8192, stream=True)
response = stream.get_final_message()
