i would like to stop ajax request after 2 minutes

My ajax function works every 15 seconds. I would like to stop it after 2 minutes.

How can i do this?

 window.setInterval(function () {
      var request = $.ajax({
         ...
      })
 }, 15000);
Solution

  • Use clearInterval, the clearInterval() method clears a timer set with the setInterval() method.

    var request;
var _timer = setInterval(function() {

  request = $.ajax({
    ...
  });

}, 15 * 1000);

setTimeout(function() {

    clearInterval(_timer);
    request.abort(); // If you want to abort the xhr which are still executing after 2 minutes

}, 2 * 60 * 1000);
