Delx Commerce — Timeout Budget Calculator
x402
Delx Commerce — Timeout Budget Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from commerce.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).
Computes per-step timeout allocation by splitting a total timeout budget across sequential steps after reserving overhead milliseconds.

How this service works
Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the number of steps, total_ms, reserved_ms, available_ms (total minus reserved), per_step_ms (available divided by steps), a feasibility boolean, and the schema identifier 'delx/util-timeout-budget/v1'.
Example use cases
Multi-step agent pipeline timing
“My agent pipeline has 5 sequential steps and a total timeout of 10000ms. I want to reserve 1000ms for setup overhead — can you calculate how much time each step gets and confirm it's feasible?”
Feasibility check before execution
“I only have 2000ms total and want to reserve 800ms for overhead, then split across 4 steps — is that even feasible, and if so how many milliseconds per step?”
Dynamic timeout tuning for LLM chains
“I'm running a 3-step LLM chain with a 6000ms deadline and 500ms reserved for post-processing overhead. Calculate the per-step timeout budget for me.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://commerce.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/timeout-budget?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent or orchestration system needs to programmatically compute fair per-step timeout allocations from a global deadline — especially when a fixed overhead must be reserved before distributing remaining time. Prefer it over manual arithmetic when building dynamic multi-step pipelines where step count or budget varies at runtime.
Side effects
- Invalid or missing required fields (steps, total_ms, reserved_ms) may return a 400 error
- reserved_ms >= total_ms results in feasible:false with zero or negative available_ms
- Non-numeric inputs may cause validation errors
- steps value of 0 would cause a division-by-zero scenario
