IB API timeouts for large data requests

[cdcv]

Is there a way to set a longer timeout interval for large data requests, or handle / avoid / correct api timeouts for large data requests?
In TWS, I tried changing the value of edit>Global Configuration>API>Settings>Timeout to send bulk data to API, but this did not seem to produce a change in behavior, the timeout is still generated at 30s after the request is submitted.

Why do you need large requests?
The API provides historical ADJUSTED_LAST data, apparently going back a long way. For example:
{contract: Contract.stock('GE'),duration: '10 Y', barSizeSetting: '1 hour', whatToShow: 'ADJUSTED_LAST', useRth: 1, formatDate: 1}
However, pulling a lot of data results in an api timeout.
I don't see a way to page the data because with the use of whatToShow: 'ADJUSTED_LAST', it is disallowed to use endDateTime to request the data in chunks. There are probably other circumstances where people need to make large data requests.

Is there a way to override the api timeout duration, or otherwise succeed in making a large data request?

Thank you

In client.js:

async _connect() {
if (this._protocolBytes) {
this._protocolBytes.removeAllListeners(); // allow gc to remove old
}

this._clientId = this._connectionParameters.clientId || 1;
this._serverVersion = 0;

// build protocol bytes object
this._protocolBytes = new ProtocolBytes();

const timeoutMs = this._connectionParameters.timeoutMs || 120000;
