The usual model for using Swift is to connect it to a localish server, where latency is tolerable, and to then use federation and edge servers to handle connections across constrained links. To that end, the only timouts in Swift should be the ones on connection (which is a non-configurable 2 minutes time-out) - querying room lists, joining a room, etc. will not time out (a warning may be given when joining a room that the room is slow to respond, but Swift will not ‘give up’ at this point). Allowing the configuration of the connection timeout doesn’t seem impossible at some point in the future, but isn’t currently planned.

Best,
