Is there a general maximum timeout for Azure REST API Snapshot-Grant Access

Question

Here is the API, can we set a const value as its maximum timeout, such as 240s?

Answer 1

The Azure REST API for Snapshot - Grant Access does not have a specific maximum timeout value documented that you can directly configure as a constant. The operation itself is governed by Azure's internal timeout policies, and while you can set a durationInSeconds parameter in your request to control how long the SAS token is valid, this is not the same as a timeout for the API operation itself. If you're looking to set a custom timeout for your HTTP request (240 seconds), you can do this within your application's HTTP client configuration. However, keep in mind that this will not affect the API's internal processing time but will control how long your application waits for a response.
