The timeout setting in the Redfish special agent rulesets Redfish Compatible Management Controller and Redfish Compatible Power Equipment (PDU) was capped at 20 seconds. Management controllers whose API responds more slowly than this could not be monitored reliably: every request ran into the timeout, leaving BrokenPipeError crash reports behind.

The maximum has been raised from 20 to 90 seconds, so you can now set a timeout that matches slower hardware. Existing rules are unaffected.
