Add rate limiting for timeout

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

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

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

Start by locating the API timeout handling and the existing error-message paths in the repository. Read how timeout failures are currently reported and identify the relevant tests, if present. Done means timeout-related API errors are rate-limited and produce more descriptive messages, with the behavior covered by tests.
