Hi, anyone knows how can I fix this error?
TIMEOUT
TIMEOUT

DETAILS
TIMEOUT: TIMEOUT
at Timeout._onTimeout (file:///var/task/lambda_handler.mjs:889:23)
at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17)
at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)

It’s happening multiple times in my workflow, it seems that the workflow can’t go for too long (less than 2 mins, it crashes).

It looks like your workflow is timing out because it’s taking longer than the allowed execution time. Pipedream workflows have a maximum execution time of 2 minutes. If your workflow takes longer than that, it will time out and throw the error you’re seeing. To resolve this issue, you can try to optimize your workflow by reducing the time it takes to execute each step or by breaking the workflow into smaller parts. If you need further assistance, please provide more information about your workflow, and I’ll be happy to help.

Ohhhh that’s a major workaround to tackle. chatgpt prompts can take well over 1 minute leaving little time for the rest of the workflow.

Thank you for your help. Any ideas on how I can proceed with this? I was planning for a intense data-filtering and chatgpt prompting: https://pipedream.com/new?h=tch_OWafza

how can I increase the timeout limit for my workflow?

You can increase the timeout limit for your workflow by following these steps: 1. Open your workflow in the Pipedream UI. 2. Click on the “Settings” tab at the top of the workflow editor. 3. Find the “Execution Timeout Limit” section and adjust the limit according to your needs. Please note that the maximum time per execution depends on your plan: - Free tiers: 300 seconds (5 minutes) - Paid tiers: 750 seconds (12.5 minutes) For more details on execution limits, you can refer to the Pipedream documentation: Limits

Let me know if that helps, Andres

That fixed it! Thanks a lot, I’m so excited to see my workflow operating :sweat_smile:
