Odata #timeout parameter not working?

I have an Odata.connection that seems to timeout after 15 minutes therefore I have increased the timeout as suggested on several places. The result was the same so I tried lowering the timout to see if it had any effect. If I add a short timeout say 5 seconds I would expect a query to stop after this time has passed but it does not stop after 5 seconds. This seems to suggest increasing the timeout does not work either?

 

This is the row where I added the shorter duration:

Source = OData.Feed("https://<address>", null, [Implementation="2.0" ,Timeout=#duration(0, 0, 0, 5)]),

@Jonas_BIS , Have you given any time out at connection level?

Also, have you changed it in all queries?

We experience the same issue, like to know if there is already a solution. Ran the same test. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I do not know what you mean with connection level?


In the test I run one query to fetch a table and I 
would expect a low timeout setting to terminate my query after the timeout. But it doesn't stop in 5 seconds so I am

curious what the timeout setting actually does.

Making sure it is set for all connections might actually do it. Have used another connection option now so will not test it but sounds like a reasonable solution.
