If your Athena query is timing out you can probably optimize your configuration to improve the performance.
Data Format If possible you can improve the performance by using an efficient file format like Parquet or ORC. This will save you time and costs as less data will be queried. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/performance-tuning.html
Partitioning If your dataset is large or changing frequently you can partition your dataset by a specific key like year, month, day, etc. The query will only look at specific partitions that will improve performance and reduce costs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/partitions.html
Upgrading Athena Engine Overtime AWS releasing newer versions of Athena that will be more optimized. If you're not already using the latest version you can look at upgrading to get the latest benefits seamlessly. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/engine-versions-changing.html
I hope these suggestions help you resolve your issues.
