Description

Hi,

When I have a network outage or high load on the pc I often hit the timeout of 3000 ms to connect. My intention is to set this bot and forget it on the machine so, here are some suggestions.

From a priority order in my view:

1- keep the limit of 3000 ms but add a function to retry in one or few minutes automatically;

2- add a config entry for running the bot in the moment of launching. This would allow me to automate the server to launch the bot with the server startup.

I believe those modifications could help us a lot :)

Thanks in advance!

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the 3000 ms connection-timeout handling and the bot startup configuration; done should include automatic retry after transient outages and a configuration option to launch the bot at startup.
