The maximum duration to wait before timing out. If left blank, the wait will be at most the time permitted by the underlying HTTP/RPC protocol. If RPC context deadline is also specified, the shorter one will be used.
[null,null,["Last updated 2026-09-29 UTC."],[],["The `Operations.WaitOperation` request requires two fields: `name` and `timeout`. The `name` field, a string, specifies the operation resource to monitor. The `timeout` field, also a string in duration format (e.g., \"3.5s\"), sets the maximum wait time. If `timeout` is not specified, the default is the HTTP/RPC protocol's maximum. The shorter duration between `timeout` and any specified RPC context deadline is applied.\n"]]
