Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes people with unique network setups need shorter long poll timeouts. Right now we default 70s, but the server takes the client-provided timeout so we can allow it to be changed for advanced use cases.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow the value to be configurable

Research direction

Start by locating the SDK's long-poll request and its current 70-second default. Check how the server receives the client-provided timeout and add a configuration path for advanced users. Done when callers can select a shorter timeout without changing the default, with coverage for the configured value.
