Description

When using qdrant-client 1.8.2 it’s throwing 408 timeout sometimes on the delete points endpoint, when starting to run it massively

it happens both using qdrant on docker or qdrant cloud.

the current solution was to switch to grpc and worked well, but would like to not need to switch to grpc for this

I already increase the timeout config, even tried to change on the lib with httpx but without success

Research direction

Reproduce the intermittent 408s from qdrant-client 1.8.2 by running massive delete-points requests against Qdrant on Docker and Qdrant Cloud. Compare the HTTP endpoint with the working gRPC path, and inspect the timeout configuration and attempted httpx changes. Done means HTTP deletion completes reliably under the reported load without requiring gRPC.
