Hello everyone  
I’m using tutor 13 and some of our users are having timeout issue

Is there anyway to increase the timeout instead of showing an error immediately?

Hello @tomg10,

Yes, you can increase the timeout in Caddy like below in your Caddyfile (it is better to patch your Caddyfile but I don’t know how to patch it):

```auto
# Global configuration
{
    servers {
        timeouts {
            read_body 900s
            read_header 900s
        }
    }
}

```

Here, in the above snippet, I have increased read timeout but you can set your required timeout using the following reference documentation of Caddy.

Reference:

> **[Global options (Caddyfile) - Caddy Documentation](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options#timeouts)**
>
> Caddy is a powerful, enterprise-ready, open source web server with automatic HTTPS written in Go

Hello @tomg10, you can increase the OAuth expiration token by adding in the platform LMS configuration:

```auto
OAUTH2_PROVIDER.update({"ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_SECONDS": 31557600})

```

For example, If you want one year.

If you are using Tutor you can add that in openedx-lms-common-settings patch in a Tutor plugin, and that’s it 😊
