Redis ERR Operation timed out

The operation took too long to complete.
  1. Check network connectivity between your client and Redis server using the ping command targeting the Redis server IP or hostname. Example: ping <Redis-server-IP>.
  2. Execute the redis-cli ping command to ensure that the Redis server is reachable and responding. If Redis is running on a custom port, use redis-cli -p <port> ping.
  3. Use redis-cli -h <host> -p <port> INFO stats to check for any immediate issues such as high memory usage or command backlog which might indicate performance problems.
  4. Review the Redis server logs for any errors or warnings around the time the timeout occurred. This can help identify server-side issues causing the timeouts.
  5. Increase the client-side timeout setting temporarily to see if the operation completes successfully, indicating that the operation is taking longer than expected but is not fundamentally failing. For example, in redis-cli, use --timeout <seconds> to increase the timeout duration.
  6. If possible, use the SLOWLOG GET command to check for slow operations that might be impacting the server's performance, potentially leading to timeouts.
