Function Timeout

Resolve timeout errors in Sanity Functions by adjusting the timeout duration.

When testing Compute Functions locally you may see a timeout error. For example:

npx sanity functions test log-event
› Error: Error: Timeout: The process exceeded your current timeout limit of 10 seconds. Learn to adjust your blueprint's
› timeout settings here: https://www.sanity.io/docs/help/functions-timeout

By default function execution time is set to 10 seconds, but may be configured down as low as 1 second and as high as 900 seconds (15 minutes).

You can experiment with different timeout values directly from the command line via the --timeout flag.

npx sanity functions test log-event --timeout 15

This will increase the timeout value to 15 seconds.

Note: Your functions will likely run faster locally than in the cloud. Today's modern machines far outpace the capabilities of cloud runners. So expect to add a bit of padding in your timeout value to compensate.

Once you establish an appropriate timeout value, update your blueprint file.

import { defineBlueprint, defineDocumentFunction } from "@sanity/blueprints"

export default defineBlueprint({
  resources: [
    defineDocumentFunction({
      name: "log-event",
      timeout: 15, // Add your new timeout value
    }),
  ],
})

Now the next time you test your function locally it will read the new timeout value from the blueprint.
