network timeout

Server stopped responding

A network timeout occurs when a connection attempt or data transfer fails because a preset time limit expired without receiving a response.

The server didn't answer, the request got lost, or the network is too slow: The page wouldn't load—just a network timeout error.

Timeouts prevent systems from waiting indefinitely for responses that may never come.
