You can use ruby's Timeout module as follows:

require 'timeout'
begin
   status = Timeout::timeout(5) do
      @koala_api.get_connection 'me', :feed
   end
rescue Timeout::Error
   # do something on timeout
end

Timeout: is not thread-safe. And can lead to unexpected. behavior in a multi-thread scenario as Kidd Said. – Nando Aug 10 '18 at 02:16

@NandoSousa that papers show imagine on the topic only, without any proof, so thst is the only conjecture and speculations... so you can't indeed downvote because of proofless speculations – Малъ Скрылевъ Aug 13 '18 at 09:50

The best way to do that is: Koala.http_service.http_options = {request: {open_timeout: 1, timeout: 1}}
