Is org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply the same as timeout?

Hey,
A call to a dbus method sometimes responds with

```
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.
```

There seems to be an attempt to offer potential explanations on what
has happened.
But in essence, is it safe to just treat it as a timeout always?
If so, can one set a timeout for a dbus method call?

Be Well,
Alan
