Feature Added
Released: 2026-04-11
### What's new
When Apertis routes your request to an upstream provider, it waits a set amount of time before switching to the next available channel. Previously this was fixed
at 30 seconds — fine for most models, but too short for preview and reasoning models processing large context windows.
You can now adjust this in **Settings → Subscription Keys → Fallback Timeout** (range: 5s–300s).
### Who should change this
- Using `gemini-3-flash-preview`, `claude-opus-4-thinking`, or other preview/reasoning models with large prompts? **Increase to 120s+**
- Using standard models like `gpt-4o`, `claude-sonnet-4`? **Default 30s is fine**
### How it works
1. Go to **Settings → Subscription Keys**
2. Find **Fallback Timeout** in the metadata section
3. Enter your preferred value in milliseconds (e.g., `120000` for 120s)
4. Click **Save**
Changes take effect immediately.
