    Hey Bo - not the rate limit (which the “Duration (in ms)” is for, but I meant how long can the API call be open for. For example, if I’m using Clay’s HTTP API module to call an API endpoint that takes over x minutes, I’d like to know whether that call will persist or disconnect eventually.

    Gotcha! In that case, it’s 5000 ms, but there have been some changes recently, so it might not be exact. I’d recommend using this as a general guideline rather than a strict rule. If it reaches that limit, it will display a “timeout.” 😊

    Are you sure it’s 5000 ms? I’ve definitely run API calls that’s lasted longer than that

    Yes, that’s what I last knew. I can double-check just in case, but were you asking because you encountered an issue or were trying to achieve something that wasn’t working? 😊

    Hey Joe! I just heard back from the team, and it’s confirmed that the disconnect happens after 120 seconds. Apologies for not having this answer sooner—thank you so much for your patience! 😊
