| Default | 55 seconds | Timeout for most Gitaly calls (not enforced for `git``fetch` and `push` operations, or Sidekiq jobs). For example, checking if a repository exists on disk. Makes sure that Gitaly calls made within a web request cannot exceed the entire request timeout. It should be shorter than the worker timeout that can be configured for [Puma](../../../install/requirements.md#puma-settings). If a Gitaly call timeout exceeds the worker timeout, the remaining time from the worker timeout is used to avoid having to terminate the worker. |

| Fast | 10 seconds | Timeout for fast Gitaly operations used within requests, sometimes multiple times. For example, checking if a repository exists on disk. If fast operations exceed this threshold, there may be a problem with a storage shard. Failing fast can help maintain the stability of the GitLab instance. |
| Medium | 30 seconds | Timeout for Gitaly operations that should be fast (possibly within requests) but preferably not used multiple times within a request. For example, loading blobs. Timeout that should be set between Default and Fast. |
