Delx Timeout Budget
x402
Delx Timeout Budget is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

How this service works
Split a total timeout into per-step budgets after reserved overhead — call when carving a parent timeout into per-step slices after overhead. Use before side effects when composing multi-step agent jobs—the same loyalty/workflow demand band agents already pay for on Bazaar, but fully local. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, and memory-only with no paid upstream, no input retention, and no claim of live…
Output
Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON containing the per-step millisecond budget calculated as (total_ms minus reserved_ms) divided by steps, along with the remaining budget after overhead and individual step allocations.
Example use cases
Multi-step agent pipeline timeout planning
“My agent job has a 15000ms total timeout, I need to reserve 1000ms for setup overhead, and the workflow has 6 sequential steps — can you compute how many milliseconds each step should get?”
LLM chain orchestration budgeting
“I'm composing a 3-step LLM chain with an 8000ms parent timeout and 750ms reserved for inter-step coordination overhead — split the remaining time evenly across the 3 steps so I know each step's deadline.”
API gateway request timeout slicing
“For an API gateway handling requests with a 5000ms hard timeout, I want to reserve 200ms for response serialization — divide the rest equally across 5 downstream call steps and give me the per-step budget.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/timeout-budgetWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, stateless, local computation to split a parent timeout into per-step slices in a multi-step agent or workflow pipeline — especially when composing sequential jobs where you want reproducible, machine-readable JSON output without any external dependencies or data retention.
Side effects
- steps value of zero causes division-by-zero error
- reserved_ms exceeding total_ms results in negative remaining budget
- missing required fields (steps, total_ms, reserved_ms) returns validation error
- non-numeric inputs rejected with type error
- payment failure via x402 prevents execution
