I use HTTP Request node configured with POST url. This request takes close to 5 mins for completion, i modified the settings file to have httpRequestTimeout: 360000, after restarting the instance, the request still fails with error exactly after 3 minutes. Any help ?

what error are you getting, it's potentially coming from the backend?
