+
+The three timeouts from C12. Set Timeouts all apply to a single `send` or `recv` call. To cap the total time a request can take, use `set_max_timeout()`.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+```cpp
+httplib::Client cli("http://localhost:8080");
+
+cli.set_max_timeout(5000); // 5 seconds (in milliseconds)
+
+auto res = cli.Get("/slow-endpoint");
+```
+
+The value is in milliseconds. Connection, send, and receive together — the whole request is aborted if it exceeds the limit.
+
+## Use `std::chrono`
+
+There's also an overload that takes a `std::chrono` duration.
+
+```cpp
+using namespace std::chrono_literals;
+cli.set_max_timeout(5s);
+```
+
+## When to use which
+
+`set_read_timeout` fires when no data arrives for a while. If data keeps trickling in bit by bit, it will never fire. An endpoint that sends one byte per second can make `set_read_timeout` useless no matter how short you set it.
+
+`set_max_timeout` caps elapsed time, so it handles those cases cleanly. It's great for calls to external APIs or anywhere you don't want users waiting forever.
+
+```cpp
+cli.set_connection_timeout(3s);
+cli.set_read_timeout(10s);
+cli.set_max_timeout(30s); // abort if the whole request takes over 30s
+```
+
+> **Note:** `set_max_timeout()` works alongside the regular timeouts. Short stalls get caught by `set_read_timeout`; long-running requests get capped by `set_max_timeout`. Use both for a safety net.
