+
+Allow long-running API operations to finish
+
+Increase the default API request timeout from 30 to 60 seconds so Workers
+profiling captures can run for the full supported 50 seconds and return their
+results. Apply the same default to SDK and raw-response requests while retaining
+explicit timeout overrides and the exemption for binary and multipart uploads.
