Evidence

+Ad decision server (ADS) timeout | 3 seconds (default) | The maximum number of seconds that MediaTailor waits before timing out on an open connection to an ad decision server (ADS). When a connection times out due to no response from the ADS, MediaTailor is unable to fill the ad avail with ads. This timeout is configurable through the **Individual ADS request timeout** setting (range: 250–6,000 ms). For more information, see [Advanced settings](./configurations-create.html#configurations-advanced-settings).
