### Answer It sounds like there may have been an issue with the assistant's response timing during the call. Vapi allows configuring the response delay to manage how soon the assistant starts speaking after it detects user speech. The default setting for

responseDelaySeconds

is 0.4 seconds, which means the assistant should begin speaking almost immediately after the user stops talking [(1)]() . If the assistant didn't speak for 30 seconds, it's possible there may have been a problem with the configuration or an unexpected issue occurred during the call. It's also important to ensure that all components, such as the transcriber and voice models, are correctly set up and functioning as expected. For troubleshooting specific calls like the one you mentioned with ID "ae4dca7c-6bb0-4b19-aee5-e9fd17f43d4c", it might be necessary to review the call's setup and configuration details, as well as checking for any error logs or alerts that might indicate what went wrong. In cases like these, reviewing the assistant's configuration and ensuring that the

responseDelaySeconds

setting is correctly configured can be a good starting point. If the issue persists, it might be related to a more complex problem requiring further investigation into the call's details and the assistant's behavior during the call.
