My other api endpoints are working fine but only a file upload specific api endpoint is not working.
i’m using Flask for API development, along with nginx and uwsgi.

Hi there,
As far as I can see the backend service is handling the request for around 6 seconds or so, however, the proxy_read_timeout inside your location / is set to 300 without an s at the end which I believe defaults to milliseconds.
I could suggest either changing it to 3600 for example or adding an s: 300s.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
