Beryl,
Not really enough information to suggest anything. I use the QB API almost every day and it rarely times out. If you aren't experiencing timeouts with a normal login to the app you can test for timeouts by using a url like this:
https://YOURDOMAIN.com/db/bmsrk7gae bemenk5bm?act=api_getschema&qid=1&usertoken= bbnb3n3bnc4cmccwp4kqkb6ji5xz
Just change the above request to match your domain name (examples assumes bmsrk7gae is you appid and not a table id). You should see a short XML reply with all of your tables listed.
If it comes back quickly - then the problem is in with the client. If this times out - try submitting a help request to QB - they may be able to see an issue you can't see from your side.
Also - if you're developing clients you may want to take a look at POSTMAN. It allows you to test calls to any API without writing any code...

Thank you so much for your response! I am using SDK found here https://github.com/QuickbaseAdmirer/QuickBase-C-Sharp-SDK. I really don't know how to send XML from C# which is why I'm using the SDK. I'm looking into trying to go the XML route now because it seems this SDK is the problem.
