Hi Lars,
I haven't seen your initial posts, but did you confirm that the WFS
GetFeature request actually runs when you do it manually, through your
browser?
A lot of times the timeout happens at the server end (and not at the
client/QGIS end). Here is a test with the MapServer engine (not sure
what is driving your own WFS instance) :
For example, this will take a few minutes but will return all features
in your browser:
https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&TYPENAME=continents
That confirms there is no timeout issue on the server end.
So then I started QGIS (an old 3.8 on this machine), zoomed out to world
extents and then added the 'continents' layers from that WFS service:
https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wfs?
It took my local QGIS several minutes, or more, there was a nice
progress bar, but eventually all features loaded. (I have not modified
the ini file that you mentioned)
I am not sure where you see this 60second limit in QGIS.
