ansible IOS_Config timeout override

Is there a way to override the timeout on ansible? I'm sending around 700 lines of Cisco iOS config. However I get a timeout error:

ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: timeout trying to send command

Is there a way to increase the timeout so I can send the full set of lines?

- hosts: 192.168.1.1
  connection: network_cli
  tasks:
  - name: send config
    ios_config:
      lines:
        -config 
        -config

They are two tunables for timeout, persistent_connect_timeout and persistent_command_timeout. The latter seems to be one you have to change. You have to edit ansible.cfg and put this text

[persistent_connection]
command_timeout = 30

You can also as a test define the environment variable ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT=30 before launching the playbook so that would apply to all network tasks
