How to Evaluate LLM Timeout Events

Edited
  1. Open call timeline.

  2. Identify:

    • Delay between caller input and system response.

    • Retry attempts.

    • Timeout trigger.

  3. Confirm transfer reason.

  4. Compare frequency across similar calls.

Multiple timeouts in short window may indicate provider issue.


Retry Behavior

Retry logic:

  • Attempts recovery

  • Is capped to prevent looping

  • Escalates after threshold exceeded


How to Validate Retry Logic

  1. Filter calls by agent_failure.

  2. Open timeline.

  3. Confirm:

    • Retry attempts occurred.

    • Retry limit enforced.

    • Transfer occurred after limit.

Endless retry should never occur.


Evaluating Early or Unexpected Transfers

If transfer seems premature:

  1. Review transcript.

  2. Check for safety language.

  3. Check duration limit.

  4. Check language instability.

  5. Confirm routing configuration.

  6. Compare against other calls.
