@Marvin how can i fix this error Task run exceeded timeout of 3600.0 second(s)
m
To fix the "Task run exceeded timeout of 3600.0 second(s)" error in Prefect, you can increase the timeout value for the task. In Prefect 3.x, this can typically be done by specifying a
timeout
parameter when defining your task. Here's a basic example:
Copy code
python
from prefect import task, flow

@task(timeout_seconds=7200)  # Increase timeout to 7200 seconds (2 hours)
def my_task():
    # Your task logic here
    pass

@flow
def my_flow():
    my_task()

my_flow()
You can adjust the
timeout_seconds
to a value that suits your needs. If you're working with an older version or a different setup, ensure you're using the correct syntax by checking the Prefect documentation. For more information, you might want to explore the task engine source code where the
TaskRunTimeoutError
is defined.

@Marvin can i set the default value for all flows in the UI
m
It seems that setting a default timeout for all flows directly through the Prefect UI is not explicitly documented. However, you can specify timeouts for individual flows using the
timeout_seconds
keyword argument when defining a flow in code. For more detailed configuration options, you might want to explore the Prefect settings reference. This page includes various settings that can be adjusted, though it doesn't specifically mention setting a global default timeout for flows via the UI. If you're looking for a more centralized configuration, consider setting timeouts programmatically in your flow definitions or using environment variables where applicable.
