Question

Hi everyone how is `timeout` supposed to work on a mapped task it seems to me that timeout is not being enforced is there a way to see the timeout specification in the UI

Chris White · Answer

Hey Marwan at a high level your timeout will apply on each individual task of your mapped task However because it is not entirely possible to stop an arbitrary python function Prefect operates on a best effort basis either way though if your specified `timeout` is exceeded your task should enter a `TimedOut` failed state If you re seeing otherwise I d be curious for a reproducible example

Hi < Chris White> thank you for the quick response I am not seeing my tasks enter a `TimedOut` failed state for some reason will try to share an example soon

here is the link to the issue which hopefully describes what I am trying to do and where I would have expected the timeout to be invoked along with a reproducible example <https github com PrefectHQ prefect issues 2645>
