Fix ConnectTimeoutError

in OpenTelemetry

Solution

ConnectTimeoutError in OpenTelemetry SDKs usually indicates the exporter failed to establish a connection with the backend within the configured timeout. Increase the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT` environment variable or the equivalent SDK configuration to allow more time for the connection, and verify network connectivity between the exporter and the OTLP collector or endpoint. If the backend is overloaded, consider scaling it or implementing retry mechanisms in the exporter.
