Request Timeouts

By default, there is a 60 second timeout for waiting response from Telegram Bot API servers, after this time is passed Guzzle exception will be thrown.

However, it is possible to change this behaviour by calling setTimeOut($seconds) or setConnectTimeOut($seconds) before making any API request or at the time of initializing the library.

Connection timeout​

Default connection timeout is 10 seconds. It can be changed by calling setConnectTimeOut($seconds).

# Standalone
$telegram
   ->setConnectTimeOut(1)
   ->sendPhoto(['chat_id' => 'CHAT_ID', 'photo' => 'path/to/photo.jpg']);

# Laravel
Telegram::setConnectTimeOut(1);
Telegram::sendPhoto(['chat_id' => 'CHAT_ID', 'photo' => 'path/to/photo.jpg']);

General timeout​

# Standalone
$telegram->setTimeOut(30);
$updates = $telegram->getUpdates(['timeout' => 30]);

$telegram->setTimeOut(5);
$telegram->sendMessage(['chat_id' => 'CHAT_ID', 'text' => 'message']);

# Laravel
