Refactor config for better readability

**Feature request**
It would be great to have timeout for api.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_timeout` with default `false`.

Start by locating the configuration handling and the API request entry point; no file or test is named in the issue. Trace how existing options are defined and applied, then verify that `enable_timeout` defaults to false and that the API timeout behavior matches the request.
