 ### Added
 
-- The `CONNECT_TASK_TIMEOUT` environment variable, which configures the timeout for [task based operations](https://docs.posit.co/connect/api/#get-/v1/tasks/-id-). This value translates into seconds (e.g., `CONNECT_TASK_TIMEOUT=60` is equivalent to 60 seconds.) By default, this value is set to [`sys.maxsize`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.maxsize).
