The amount of time that Googlebot (Google's web crawling bot) waits before timing out can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size and complexity of the page being crawled, the server response time, and the network conditions.
In general, Googlebot is designed to be patient and persistent when crawling websites. It will typically wait for a response from a web server for up to several seconds, and will retry the request several times if it does not receive a response.
However, it's important to note that there is no fixed timeout for Googlebot. The amount of time it will wait before timing out can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the request. If a page is very slow to respond, or if there are other issues with the server or network, it's possible that Googlebot may give up and move on to other pages before receiving a response.
If you're concerned about Googlebot timing out while crawling your website, it's a good idea to make sure your site is optimized for speed and that your server is properly configured to handle large volumes of requests. You can also use tools like Google Search Console to monitor crawl errors and identify any issues that might be causing problems for Googlebot.
