2.2.8.3 Handling Task Timeout Issues

If a task times out, review the workflow execution details to identify the timed-out task and the reason for incompletion.

To handle task timeout issues, you can take one or more of the following actions:

• Increase poll timeout if tasks are timing out before workers pick them up.
• Add or scale worker instances if poll timeouts indicate insufficient worker capacity.
• Increase response timeout if the worker needs more time before sending progress updates.
• Update the worker to send IN_PROGRESS updates for long-running tasks.
• Increase timeout if the task legitimately needs more time to finish.
• Configure retryCount, retryLogic, and retryDelaySeconds so transient failures can be retried.
• Retry or restart the workflow after fixing the worker, timeout, or downstream service issue.
