The Influx client was built with no timeout, so every query and write fell
through to influxdb-client's own 10 s default — invisible to a flow and
unchangeable. The param is in seconds like its peers; the client counts in
milliseconds, so the call sites convert.
The publisher backlog was a module constant, read once at import. It is the
depth at which the oldest payload is dropped and the node goes degraded, and
a node that bursts wants more than one that trickles, so it moves to Params
and is read where the queue is built.
