"Failure is slower than success. So the longer a notification takes to get a status, the more likely it is for that status to be a failure anyway. This increases dramatically after 45 seconds. The percentage of emails that go to delivered in less than 90 seconds is 98.92%. To get to 99% we’d need to increase the timeout to 178 seconds (3 minutes). We could still get 98.7% of notifications by dropping the timeout to 45 seconds, and improve the experience for notifications that are likely to fail by returning an error more quickly."
