Every pod request went through <pod>-<port>.proxy.runpod.net, which sits
behind Cloudflare: a 100 s idle limit per request and a body-size cap. A
slow non-streaming render can be cut off with a 524 while the pod is
still working. direct_tcp (off by default) exposes the port as tcp and
talks to the public ip:port the runtime reports — plain HTTP, no limits.
