+     * <p><b>Executor Guidance:</b> The provided executor is used to run a blocking task that reads from the input stream and
+     * pushes data to the HTTP channel. If the executor has fewer threads than the number of concurrent requests using it,
+     * tasks are serialized — one slow or failing request may block other requests from writing data in a timely manner,
+     * leading to idle HTTP connections that the server may close before data can be written. This may result in an
+     * unrecoverable write timeout loop where every retry also fails.
+     *
+     * <p>To avoid this:
+     * <ul>
+     *     <li>Use a <b>dedicated</b> executor for SDK input stream requests — do not share it with other blocking work
+     *     in your application, as competing tasks may delay data writes and cause the same issue.</li>
+     *     <li>Size the executor's thread pool to at least the maximum number of concurrent requests.</li>
+     * </ul>
+     *
+     * <p>It is also recommended to configure an API call timeout via
+     * {@code ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder().apiCallTimeout()} to bound the total time spent on retries.
