# RequestTimeout

The maximum time to spend processing a single input file or document. You can specify the timeout in seconds and fractional seconds (for example 5.5 means five and a half seconds).

After it reaches the timeout, Eduction stops processing and returns any results that were found. In most cases Eduction does not reach the default timeout, but it can prevent Eduction running for a long time with abnormal documents.

This parameter applies to actions such as EduceFromFile, EduceFromText, RedactFromFile, and RedactFromText.

NOTE: When edktool reports settings, it returns values for the timeout in milliseconds. For example, if you set `RequestTimeout` to 4.5, it returns the timeout value as 4500.
