The "Silence Timed Out" ended reason means the call was ended due to prolonged silence, indicating inactivity.
To address this, ensure both the assistant and the customer are prompted to speak early in the call, and check for any microphone or audio connection issues on the receiver's side.
Actionable step: Review your call flow and consider adding an initial prompt or message to encourage immediate interaction, which can help prevent silence timeouts.
