Description
I am getting quite a few tornado.httpclient.HTTPError: HTTP 599: Timeout errors.
I read https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/issues/1400 and I increased request_timeout for all my HTTPRequests to 2400.00 (40 minutes) then I rerun the code and I am 100% positive that I got not as many but still a few tornado.httpclient.HTTPError: HTTP 599: Timeout errors even thought my code finished running after 10 minutes.
I wonder why it is so and if there is something else I could do to fix it?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the HTTP 599 timeout with request_timeout set to 2400 seconds and compare the observed timeout with the program's completion time. Read the HTTP client timeout handling and the discussion linked from issue #1400. Done means identifying the timeout source and documenting or correcting the behavior so the configured timeout is respected.
