Istio Request Time out configurations for https/tls calls

We are looking to leverage existing Istio functionality to configure request time-outs. Our Microservice is in the service mesh, and it makes a https call to external system. Is it possible to configure the timeouts for https calls?

We found this documentation of Istio , but the examples here are only HTTP : Istio Request Timeouts

Well when you use HTTPS/TLS, traffic is encrypted outside of Istio and therefore much Istio functionality is not available.

You could define a Service Entry and use TLS origination to let Istio do the upgrade, then you could also use a request timeout. See this.
