I think it depends on the type of bot: if Genesys bot (Dialog Engine) you can increase the limit; if it is based on 3rd party technology, it is not possible.
There was an idea about this subject: Increase Google Dialogflow and Amazon Lex | Genesys Cloud Ideas Portal. But the current status is: "Future Consideration" (another way to say: "we won't never develop this...").
The problem is even more evident now, if your (external) bot is using LLM to generate the response.

Hi Haridass,
I believe this limit can be increased to 30 or 60 seconds, but you will need to raise case with Genesys Customer Care to have the limit increased

Subject: Request to Increase Bot Timeout in Genesys Bot Connector
Hi team,
We are currently experiencing an issue with the Genesys Bot Connector, where it throws a botTimeout error if our bot fails to respond within 10 seconds. In some cases, due to processing or backend dependencies, our bot requires slightly more time to generate a response.
Could you please advise if there is a configuration setting or any recommended approach to increase this timeout limit beyond 10 seconds?
Thanks.
