{Error Resolution} Timeout Exception: The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01:59.7350618 in Dynamics CRM online

Last week one of my Microsoft friends reported an error on ERD generator connecting to CRM online. It always worked well until some days ago. Now often occurs an errors about a timeout:

TimeoutException: The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01:59.7350618. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

I was trying to figure out why it is happening. A little digging told me the reason, CRM online has a limit of 2 minutes for execution timeout.

Increase the timeout value by setting

ServiceProxy.Timeout property(Timespan)
