Surface actionable error context on LLM provider timeouts instead of generic ‘Request timed out’
증상
When an upstream LLM provider fails to respond (HTTP timeout, rate limit, auth error, etc.), the user-facing message in Discord/Telegram is a generic “Request timed out” with no additional context. This makes it difficult for both users and operators to diagnose whether the issue is:
원인
API rate limit reached — too many requests within the allowed time window triggered the provider’s throttling mechanism.
