// In your Vapi dashboard:
1. Navigate to your agent configuration
2. Look for "endpointing" or "silence timeout" settings
3. Increase the timeout value or disable it temporarily
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please contact Vapi support with your agent ID for further assistance.

"startSpeakingPlan": {

"transcriptionEndpointingPlan": {
"onPunctuationSeconds": 0.1,
"onNoPunctuationSeconds": 1.2,
"onNumberSeconds": 0.5
}
}
- changed onNoPunctuationSeconds
is changed to 1.2, because when set to 0.8 value it may be slightly aggressive for non-English language. This change gives your assistant more breathing room to correctly identify when a user has actually finished speaking versus just interrupting momentarily. If interruptions happen, increase onNoPunctuationSeconds by 0.2 until it feels natural. If responses seem too slow, decrease by 0.1.
- I strongly recommend A/B testing different values with native speakers to find the optimal balance. The best settings often emerge through iterative testing.
let me know how it goes for you.
