The ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) has a non-configurable request timeout of 60 seconds because it is a default setting that is built into the ELB protocol. The ELB uses this timeout to ensure that it is able to quickly identify and close connections that are not being used.

This helps to prevent connection buildup and to ensure that resources are not being wasted on inactive connections. Additionally, the 60-second timeout allows the load balancer to quickly respond to changes in traffic patterns and to route traffic to the appropriate resource
