The type shouldn't matter at all.
What matters is the domain of the value.

Quite why you need to use max_t(size_t, ...) is another matter.
timeout is ulong so max(timeout/1000, 10ul) should be fine.

But is ulong even right?
The domain of the value is almost certainly the same on 32bit and 64bit.
So you almost certainly need u32 or u64.
