# Query Timeout If your query takes longer to run than expected, the query timeout setting aborts query execution. This will help you save time and lower costs resulting from long-running, unoptimized queries. The minimum query timeout that can be set is 5 seconds. If a query timeout is not required, toggle off the Query timeout option. This is not recommended. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.e6data.com/product-documentation/clusters/query-timeout.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
