+title: timeout
+description: Asynchronously rejects after a specified amount of time.
+---
+
+### Usage
+
+The `_.timeout` function creates a promise that will reject after a given number of milliseconds. You can provide a custom error message or a function that returns an error to be thrown upon rejection.
+
+```ts
+import * as _ from 'radashi'
+
+// Rejects after 1 second with the default "timeout" error message
+await _.timeout(1000)
+
+// Rejects after 1 second with a custom error message
+await _.timeout(1000, 'Custom timeout message')
+
+// Rejects after 1 second with a custom error object
+await _.timeout(1000, () => new Error('Custom error'))
+```
+
+### Example with `Promise.race`
+
+One of the most useful ways to use `_.timeout` with `Promise.race` to set a timeout for an asynchronous operation.
+
+```ts
+import * as _ from 'radashi'
+
+const someAsyncTask = async () => {
+  await _.sleep(10_000)
+  return 'Task completed'
+}
+
+// Race between the async task and a timeout of 1 second
+await Promise.race([someAsyncTask(), _.timeout(1000, 'Task took too long')])
+```
