Hi, I am using Quen QwQ-32B which for my purposes responds well albeit with significant slow reasoning. When using the model at times in the composer the model stops responding and the blue light stops blinking. I thought this may be a timeout issue but not sure. Sam indicated in this post that the timeout was increased to 6 minutes. https://meta.discourse.org/t/deepseek-r1-randomly-producing-job-exception-undefined-method-finish-for-nil-error/349703/3?u=brianc The thinking is long but no where near 6 minutes, maybe 2 or so. These are the messages from the logs. Any ideas what the issue may be. Not sure what InvalidParmeters: persona_id is about. Maybe this is causing the failure. Any insights will be appreciated!

Are you sure those are the only errors, the error indicates you configured triage with a persona and then deleted

Thanks Sam, those are the only errors from /logs. I have been messing around with Triage and have deleted personas for sure. I will look in automations and see if any have no model. Do you think this would be related to the AI issue stopping responding? Is the 6 minute timeout increased for self hosted or only Meta Discourse?

6 minute timeout is indeed there, but I also saw timeouts on some models with some tests, so there could be some edge cases lurking
