**This article pertains to Legacy DocuSign eSignature for Salesforce.**

Issue

When attempting to send a document out for eSignature from Salesforce, you encounter an error.

Error

Timeout must be between 1 and 120000.
Error Time out must be between 1 and 120000

Cause

In DocuSign Admin settings, one of the settings you can adjust is called Apex callout limit and can have a value between 1 and 120000. If you enter an invalid number, such as 0 and save the settings, your users will encounter this error.
Note: you can type any value and save without any error message preventing you from saving an invalid value.

Solution

Go to the DocuSign Admin object > Settings > find 'Apex callout limit (seconds)'

Find a button called Default Apex Timeout. It is visible if you filter for Fields.

Add this button to the Configuration and save.
