Cloud request timed out

Error message

Cloud request timed out

What it means

Returned by the edit-prediction cloud request path when the HTTP request exceeds its client-side timeout without a response. It is a timeout sentinel surfaced to the caller so the prediction attempt is abandoned (and may be retried) rather than blocking the editor.

Solutions

1. Retry the request, ideally with backoff and jitter
2. Reduce request payload size or context sent to shorten server processing
3. Fail over to a local/on-device prediction path if available
