I am using JsonRpcProvider in ethers V6. I am sending requests to node like getBlocknumber, getBalance ,sendTransaction etc through JsonRpcProvider. I want to set the response timeout for the requests I send to the node through the provider.

I have found and tried many methods but all of them failed. Doing it in ethers V5 and V6 is also fine. can you please advise me.

There is timeout parameter in ConnectionInfo object. According to https://docs.ethers.org/v5/api/utils/web/#ConnectionInfo

Have You tried manipulating it?

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider(rpcUrl);

provider._getConnection().timeout = 600;

Since requests are then send using this _getConnection() response object. Default is 5 minutes.

  • I already tried this method: I set the timeout to 10 (milliseconds) and tested it by calling provider.getBlocknumber(). I expected to get a timeout error, but it worked fine. This method did not solve the problem

  • I try it again on ethers V5. Your method seems to work fine for timeout in V5, but not in V6..
