# Timeout

## Summarize Infography on Timeout

### **I) Timeout & Failsafe**

**Context:** 

Within the UI, check Timeout Rates (by site, device, country, and potentially adUnits) + client-side setup within prebid. Also check buffer as final auction timeout = timeout + buffer. 

**Actions:** 

- Increase timeout config if the timeout rates are high
- Remove an SSP from the wrapper or from a country if no/low revenue + high timeout rates
- If already high timeout config, think about bidderSequence solutions or <https://docs.prebid.org/dev-docs/publisher-api-reference/setConfig.html#setConfig-site><https://docs.prebid.org/dev-docs/publisher-api-reference/setConfig.html#setConfig-site>use secondary auction

 

In addition, you can use Failsafe Timeout. 

**Context:** 

Failsafe is a backup plan when prebid code breaks. It allows your stack to call the adserver if an issue occurs in prebid 

**Actions:**  

Check if failsafe timeout is set. If not, it should be set to a higher timeout than your “classic timeout”
