[AWS Bedrock's Claude 3.5 API Issue] When streaming option is False, timeout issue occurs

The issue you're experiencing with the timeout when the streaming option is set to False is not typical behavior for AWS Bedrock's Claude 3.5 API. Normally, setting streaming to False should not cause timeout issues.

To address this problem, you can try the following approaches:

1. Increase the timeout: If you're using a client like boto3, you can increase the timeout for the API call. For example:

   client = boto3.client('bedrock-runtime', config=Config(connect_timeout=60, read_timeout=60))

   This sets both the connection and read timeouts to 60 seconds.

2. Use streaming: Since you mentioned that streaming works correctly, you could use the streaming option and accumulate the response:

   streaming_response = client.invoke_model_with_response_stream(
       modelId=model_id,
       body=json.dumps(request_body)
   )
   
   full_response = ""
   for event in streaming_response['body']:
       chunk = json.loads(event['chunk']['bytes'])
       if chunk['type'] == 'content_block_delta':
           full_response += chunk['delta'].get('text', '')

3. Check your request payload: Ensure that your request payload is correctly formatted according to the model's requirements. Incorrect formatting can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.

4. Monitor your quota and throttling: Check if you're hitting any API quotas or if there's any throttling occurring on your account.

5. Contact AWS Support: If the issue persists after trying these solutions, it might be worth contacting AWS Support for further assistance, as this could be a specific issue with your account or the service.

Remember to always handle potential exceptions and implement proper error handling in your code when working with APIs.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to investigate further with AWS support to determine if there's an underlying issue with the service or your account configuration.
