HTTP_STATUS_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
The error concerns the network connection between Cloudflare and the origin, not a browser-to-Cloudflare timeout. It can result from an overloaded origin, packet loss, routing problems, or a firewall silently dropping connections.
Check origin reachability from outside the private network, connection limits, firewall rules, and TCP-level telemetry. Cloudflare identifies 52x values as origin connectivity errors in its diagnostic headers.
