Triggered Azure functions execution time limit exceeded error

Hi,

We have noted that our triggered Azure functions are keep exceeding the execution time limit.

Note that some of these functions are simple and just calling one playfab API.

What is the suggested solution for this?

Thanks,

Tarek

Title ID: C0DAE
I have done further investigation with my team regarding this issue:

  • We have noted that this time limit error happens only the first time this function is called during the day (cold start?).
  • These errors are not new to us, we knew about them before but ignored them because we have noted that although we get the time limit error the function would execute successfully, so there were no worries.
  • But though it rarely happens, we just recently noted that it sometimes does not execute successfully - that's why we decided to take action and submitted a question here in playfab community.

What about using the queue trigger type instead of HTTP type? would that solve it?

I have checked your title but as far as I can see that there aren't many errors in your title related to Cloud Script execution.

Yes, it will. Queued functions have a longer runtime limit.

Then we will just convert the critical functions into queue triggers. Thanks SethDu

Hi, very similar situation in here. Function terminated message appears for exceeding 1000 ms on PlayStream Monitor but Function has completed its job. It has two PlayFab API call. I have checked Azure logs, Function's duration appears to about 350 ms.

Try moving your azure server in US it reduced a lot the cases where the timeout happened.
