Vortex Release Version (January 20, 2025)

• Implemented cascaded timeout adjustments to enhance transaction handling reliability. The payment broker timeout was increased to 20 seconds, aligning with the ACS timeout of 18 seconds, ensuring transactions time out appropriately at the aggregator level if necessary. Payments are now flagged as declined for timeout in a more consistent manner. Thorough regression testing validated the cascading behavior and maintained overall system stability.

Impact

These adjustments improve transaction reliability by ensuring consistent timeout handling across systems. Aligning broker and ACS timeouts prevents premature failures, reducing disruptions and enhancing payment processing stability.
