I have also encountered this error today with:

• npm - 8.15.0
• node - v18.6.0

I was trying out npx create-react-app for the first time, and this error keeps on occurring.

I just had this issue and it helped changing timeouts:

npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout 20000 npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 120000

This one helped me... though I need to add commands and modify the values.

This is what I did:

npm config set fetch-retries 5
npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout 600000
npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 1200000
npm config set fetch-timeout 1800000

Seems overkill but It worked for me.

It worked for me when I'm installing firebase, only set maxtimeout and timeout 10 times longer.

[alikhaleghifar]

[LiuLiujie]

Meet this problem today in a job using Github Actions.

[HarshDeswal]

It worked for me. Thank you

[cverma61]

Had the same issue.
This command worked for me.
npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 120000

[tohagan]

Same issue ... Turned out to be an issue with my local network connection that was slow.
I needed ...

$ npm config set fetch-retries 20

[reorx]

What works for me is to set the wait time between retries to a smaller value:

npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout 2000

by default its 20s, I think 2s is enough for me

mmm try to add one or two more 0 for :

npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 1200000
npm config set fetch-timeout 1800000

in my case it was bc slow internet i think, this problem appeared when i move in new apt with slow internet so was needed to made fetch timeout bigger

[dopatraman]

NB for 2023: None of these solutions work. I dont see how changing the max timeout will stop the timeout from happening. This seems to be an issue with the NPM registry.
