Findings
Response time limit exceeded
Updated: June 19, 2025
Description
Response took longer than expected.
A response time limit exceeded observation indicates that the API or server took longer than expected to process and return a response. Prolonged response times can lead to degraded user experiences, timeouts in client applications, and reduced reliability. Factors contributing to this issue might include inefficient code, resource contention, high server load, or network latency.
Example Attack
Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Attackers can flood the server with an excessive number of requests, causing it to reach its response time limit. This can overwhelm the server's resources, leading to a denial of service and making the application unavailable to legitimate users.
Remediation
Conduct performance monitoring and investigate server logs to determine the cause for slow responses.
