I think the current approach to use int for timeout is outdated and it generates a lot of errors when you need to remember that these are milliseconds, and you need translate it. Even HttpClient has timeout as TimeSpan.
The presence of "MaxTimeout" also confuses many users. If you want to set a custom timeout for the request, you need to remember which timeout is set for the rest client. Often, when you set a custom timeout for request, it's higher timeout than the default. These are requests for downloading and uploading files. It's rare case when the timeout is specially reduced for a particular request.
