Azure function doesn't timeouts earlier than set value

I have seen that Azure Functions increased timeout to 10 minutes while default is still 5 minutes.

My host.json is

{
  "queues": {
  "maxPollingInterval": 2000,
  "visibilityTimeout": "00:00:30",
  "batchSize": 16,
  "maxDequeueCount": 3,
  "newBatchThreshold": 8,
  "functionTimeout": "00:10:00"
 }
}

I can see the timeout value as 10 minutes in portal as well, although it didn't pick it up from the host.json I have in my local Visual Studio so I set it manually in the portal.

However, any job that passes 5 minutes is timing out. I couldn't seem to find any information around is apart from that it should work.

Solution

  • functionTimeout property should be on top level, not under queues:

    {
  "queues": {
    "maxPollingInterval": 2000,
    "visibilityTimeout": "00:00:30",
    "batchSize": 16,
    "maxDequeueCount": 3,
    "newBatchThreshold": 8
  },
  "functionTimeout": "00:10:00"
}
