Dify version

1.9.1

Cloud or Self Hosted

Self Hosted (Docker)

Steps to reproduce

1. Query a Knowledge base app that uses LLM and using v1/chat-messages endpoint via HTTP to request information
2. If your LLM and underlying infrastructure cannot answer fast ( < 30 sec) the conenction gives Nginx 504 Time out message and the related automation workflows end in Error

I searched for simillar issues, tried modifying nginx conf files - did not make sense. Please fix this or give a way to increase the time out value.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Having a way to increase time out to a custom value.

❌ Actual Behavior

Failure after 30 seconds of Dify app returning result via API.
