# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Timeout defaults and stream-timeout behavior for compression and Codex

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Two members propose raising the default auxiliary compression timeout (120s to 300s), while a third reports a higher rate of Codex APIConnectionError retries after v0.13.0 and suspects strict stream-timeout enforcement. The members are related by timeout behavior, but the titles alone do not show that the compression timeout and the Codex retry issue share a cause.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #22986: \[Bug\] Codex APIConnectionError retry rate ~8x higher post-v0.13.0; persists with #12953 applied; suspected commit 5533ad764 strict stream-timeout enforcement
