Add configuration options for timeout

**Problem**
When working with models, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the timeout configuration and model error-handling paths, then clarify whether the goal is configurable timeouts, more descriptive messages, or both; done means the agreed options and error details are implemented and verified.
