tweaking timeout on global gatling.conf

Hello, I could use help to understand how the request timeout parameters on the global gatling.conf work.

pooledConnectionIdleTimeout = 90000 (default 60000)

requestTimeout = 90000 (default 60000)

https://github.com/gatling/gatling/blob/41a27b03ae9d205204b0c54ca55f16e60700e5a0/gatling-core/src/main/resources/gatling-defaults.conf#L94

I am running few tests and trying increase the default request timeout to gather few data points. I updated the config and I believe the test is using and increased timeout but the log generated retains the default “60000 ms”

Sample log:
i.g.h.c.i.RequestTimeoutException: Request timeout to ip-xxxxxxxx.us-west-2.compute.internal/xxxxx:xxxxx after 60000 ms

Are the reports using timeout value from elsewhere in the code?
or am I assuming that the timeout is increased?

Thanks, appreciate your input.
