set timeout for firebase cloud function via console

Question

i have a lot of firebase cloud functions with a timeout > 1m and every time I redeploy them it resets the timeout to 1m again. it takes a lot of time to always edit the timeout in the console after redeploying the functions. is there a way to set the timeout in the console or in the function itself?

exports.bgl = functions.pubsub
  .schedule("*/10 7-18 * * 1-6")
  .timeZone("Europe/Berlin")
  .onRun(async (context) => {
    const response = await fetch("https://www.bgl-zuerich.ch/vermietungen");
    const body = await response.text();

    const noFreeObjects = await body.search("Alle Wohnungen vermietet");

    if (noFreeObjects === -1) {
      sendEmail(
        "<div><h1>object found for bgl</h1><a href='https://www.bgl-zuerich.ch/vermietungen'>Link</a>" +
          body +
          "</div>",
        "[email protected]"
      );
    }
  });

You can set the timeout for your Firebase Cloud Functions directly in the function’s code using the runWith method

const functions = require('firebase-functions');

exports.bgl = functions
  .runWith({ timeoutSeconds: 540 }) // Set timeout to 9 minutes (540 seconds)
  .pubsub
  .schedule("*/10 7-18 * * 1-6")
  .timeZone("Europe/Berlin")
  .onRun(async (context) => {
    const response = await fetch("https://www.bgl-zuerich.ch/vermietungen");
    const body = await response.text();

    const noFreeObjects = await body.search("Alle Wohnungen vermietet");

    if (noFreeObjects === -1) {
      sendEmail(
        "<div><h1>object found for bgl</h1><a href='https://www.bgl-zuerich.ch/vermietungen'>Link</a>" +
          body +
          "</div>",
        "[email protected]"
      );
    }
  });
