I backed it off progressively but still saw occasional messages at 1.6ms
so padded it a little with 2ms, and those systems haven’t shown errors
since so I currently see it as a ’safe’ value. The one possible wildcard
is testing with older T820/T628 boards; but that needs to wait until I’m
back home from a long trip and able to test them. The possible theory
being that older/slower systems might require more time. Worst case I’ll
have to send another change.

I’ve seen tiler timeouts once I think and thus included it, but not since
the values were increased. As long as it’s acceptable I won’t over-think
it but if more testing is needed I can look at it more.
