Timeout on Google Home using Dialogflow
I'm developing my own bot and in one instance I prompt the user to take a measurement, and then wait for their reply. Currently, my bot times out before the user even has time to take the measurement. Suggestions on how to extend the timeout period?

You cannot extend the timeout period, and you cannot extend how many "no-input" events occur before the Action closes.
There are a couple of possible approaches to a solution:
You can end the conversation and instruct the user to re-start the conversation with the measurement by providing you the information as part of a deep link. (Or just prompt them when they return to the conversation.)
You can play some "hold music" by using a Media response. When the media ends, you will get a notice, so you can play more music until the user gives you a response.

hmm thanks for the insight. however- I am worried that while the music is playing and the user is having a conversation with someone else in the room it will be confused. I want to avoid using paper and pen though...

It isn't listening during the hold music portion, unless triggered with the hot word.
