I work on the payments industry and this issue has struk our systems several times. One extra piece of advice is to also consider the compound timeout when there are multiple calls to the same service. I still remember having our system comopletely hang because Rabbitmq was unresponsive. We had a 50ms timeout with Rabbitmq, but that didn’t protect us since we would hit the service 50 times per request.
