Propably not related... I see you are using alby. Using alby myself, I have about 75% timed out zaps in general.

Frustrating but hopefully just incomplete zaps rather than failed zaps.  

 Hey, can you tell us a bit omre? When do they time out, when you send zaps from Alby to users on Amethyst, or? 

 No, no.. All sending of zaps works. 

It is on the receiving side I see issues. 

I use Zeus to view my incoming alby activity. I see expired invoices 80% of the time. "requested payment" and "expired request". 

Alby dashboard shows only successful send/receive. No timeouts...

 I was experiencing the same. I put the damus relay as an inbox yesterday & that seems to have fixed it.  

 A few tips: 
1. Zaps go to your Public Inbox relays. That's the only setting that matters for this.
2. If a Public Inbox relay is paid, only the paid subscribers of that relay can send you notifications/zaps. The relay will reject everyone else and you won't receive it. So, make sure the inbox relays are open for anyone to send. 
3. Many people are using wallets that don't send zaps (they don't have a zap service to send the event). In those cases, Amethyst will tell you that the zap went out but it will never receive anything.

4. You can remove the local server 127.0... from Public Inbox/Outbox/DM relays. Since no one can connect to it, it doen't make sense to tell your followers to send or download from there. Just add it to the local relays and Amethyst will send your posts there.

5. You are using Damus as a Search relay, but Damus doesn't implement NIP-50 yet. So, nothing is coming from there. The default button can offer the only 3 relays I know that implement NIP-50.

 Okay, I've adjusted those, I've been getting some receipts qhen sending zaps, but not others - for instance, when I zapped you and the Amethyst dev list earlier I got receipts and it showed on the app, but when I zapped nostr:nprofile1qqs0fk6jwz7ejxchh6s7d5p473w7uwffr8pfga9m4sgrgtfz836wp5qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3jamnwvaz7tmsd3jkymmwv5hxummnw3erztnrdakj7d4tydy it didn't show up in either Amethyst or Coracle, though I know he recieved it because he told me. 

It's definitely become a lot more hit and miss lately and without the receipts it's less satisfying sending zaps because there's no feedback.  

 I haven't received notifications for anything lately on Amethyst. No DMs or zaps received.
