My agents are configured to use Claude Sonnet or Gemini, but during call transfers they keep timing out and automatically falling back to GPT-4o. This is the main problem I'm seeing in my logs:

[WARN] Model request taking too long (attempt #1, started 975.33ms ago)
[LOG] Model request started (attempt #2, chatgpt-4o-latest, openai)

Should I just configure GPT-4o as primary? But then I get the interruption issues... constant interruptions and overly wordy responses that talk over callers.

Add client-side timeout logic 900ms with manual fallback to a faster model like GPT-4.5 Turbo, and reduce GPT-4o’s interruptions by tuning startSpeakingPlan.waitSeconds to 0.2sec..

Hi, First off, we want to sincerely apologize for the delay in getting back to you.
