Codex often uses timeouts which is very unproductive when something just takes long (e.g. compiling or installing something). It starts doing something, time outs, tries again with longer timeout, time outs, very unproductive. It would be very nice if this can be fixed.

Codex needs to impose timeouts on tool calls to prevent hangs, monitor tool progress, etc.
Can you say more about the problem you're seeing and what you're proposing as a solution? It's not clear what it would mean to "fix this".
If you have specific examples, it would be useful if you could use the
/feedbacktool to upload the session and post the thread ID.I run a test but it is taking more than 20 minutes, often timeouts and has to run again
I ask a subagent to work on something but it is taking longer, timeout
right now the timeout to check is too low, how to adjust it? when it runs a background job?
