Hi @ashwini_s, The timeout varies across the API depending on what endpoint you are calling. I believe a majority right now are around 1 minute before you’ll get an error response. On POSTs with long running requests, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at using an [idempotency key](https://docsv2.dwolla.com/#idempotency-key).
