I’m using Rasa version 3.6.20 on Windows 11. I’m trying to execute an action that makes an API call to a Laravel backend. After the action receives the response from the API and processes it, I’m encountering the error ‘rest.message.received.timeout’.

I’ve tried increasing the `rest_channel.timeout` value in the Rasa configuration, but the error persists. The action is responsible for listing pending tasks, and the API response contains a list of tasks with their due dates. The complete response from the API is as follows:
