InvalidOperationException when setting Timeout

[Ar4ics]

The problem on the line BaseModel.Client.Timeout = requestOptions.Timeout;
Occurs if you pass requestOptions to the method model.GenerateContent:

var requestOptions = new RequestOptions(null, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));
var json = await GetResponse1(model, request, requestOptions);

private static async Task<string> GetResponse1(GenerativeModel model, GenerateContentRequest request, RequestOptions? requestOptions = null)
{
    var response = await model.GenerateContent(request, requestOptions);
    return response.Text ?? string.Empty;
}

Hi @Ar4ics

Thanks for reporting this, I'll have a look.

Hi @Ar4ics
Ohh, I see. That's a wrong implementation currently and it's related to #2 trying to implement a retry mechanism with timeout limit of retries. The exception is thrown after the static HttpClient has been used the first time.

For now, I'm going to remove those lines actually as their intent is different and the implementation is wrong.

Eventually this article and approach could help to achieve a request-based timeout instead.

Hi @Ar4ics

Current implementation has been removed. The RequestOptions are ignored for now.
See Release v2.1.0 for more details.

Let me know if that works for you. Thanks.

Going to focus on #2 to improve the handling.

Cheers, JoKi
