Hey there,

do you know if it is possible to increase the execution time? I often use pack as a wrapper of other API, and the execution time might be longer than 30s. In this case Coda always throws an error, even thought the code has no issue.

Hey Thomas, it looks like the execution time is 60 seconds. However, we don’t have a way to extend that limit.

One of our engineers dropped this tip though:  
If this is in a sync table, one total hack you could try would be to have the initial request return a request token, and then poll/block on that token (passing it through the continuation token) and calling `setTimeout` so you don’t clobber your service when polling.

Let us know if you still have questions on this by replying to this thread!
