# Origin Response Timeout

The **Origin Response Timeout** feature for Dynamic Content Acceleration operates the same way as in Static Content Delivery.\
It defines the maximum time the CDN waits for the origin to return an HTTP(S) response. When the origin exceeds this duration, the CDN stops waiting and returns a 504 Gateway Timeout, ensuring predictable behavior for dynamic workloads and preventing long wait times caused by slow or overloaded origins.

For configuration details, timeout behavior, and examples, refer to the main documentation:\
