Meaning

Increase --timeout (up to 9 min for 1st gen event functions; 60 min for 2nd gen HTTP) or make the work shorter/asynchronous. Check for unresolved promises, missing return/await, and slow downstream calls. For event-driven functions retries may re-run the function.

Common causes

  • Slow external call or database query
  • Promise never resolves / missing await
  • Heavy work done synchronously
  • Cold start plus long initialisation
  • Default timeout too low

⚡ Quick fix

  1. gcloud functions deploy FN --timeout=300s
  2. Fix async handling (await/return)
  3. Offload long work to Cloud Tasks / Cloud Run jobs

Detailed fix by platform

gcloud

  1. gcloud functions deploy FN --timeout=300s --region REGION

How to diagnose

  1. Duration — Time vs timeout?
  2. Async — Promises awaited?
  3. Dependencies — Slow calls?
