What should I set timeout for retrofit requests?

Question

Retrofit by default is setting 10ms for timeout. The client is connected to services which are using webGates where the timeout is set 5ms. Wondering should on client side the timeout should be as much as the timeout of webGate or we should consider that we might have bad network and on client side we should set more then 5 ms?

add this to your code

   val okHttpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder()
                    .readTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                    .connectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                    .writeTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .build()

and in you retrofit client add this

               Retrofit.Builder()
                .client(okHttpClient)
                .baseUrl("YOUR BASE URL")
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build()
