Image forMax duration

Trigger.dev, the background jobs platform with no timeouts, is proud to announce the release of timeouts (but only when you want them).

You can now set a maxDuration for a task, for when you want to prevent runaway tasks:


_10
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";
_10
_10
export const maxDurationTask = task({
_10
id: "max-duration-task",
_10
maxDuration: 300, // 300 seconds or 5 minutes
_10
run: async (payload: { foo: string }) => {
_10
//...
_10
},
_10
});

Or you can set a global maxDuration for all tasks in your project:


_10
import { defineConfig } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";
_10
_10
export default defineConfig({
_10
maxDuration: 300, // 300 seconds or 5 minutes
_10
});

You can even set a specific maxDuration for a run when you trigger a task:


_10
import { maxDurationTask } from "./trigger/max-duration-task";
_10
_10
// Trigger the task with a maxDuration of 300 seconds
_10
// This will override the default maxDuration set in the config file
_10
const run = await maxDurationTask.trigger(
_10
{ foo: "bar" },
_10
{
_10
maxDuration: 300, // 300 seconds or 5 minutes
_10
}
_10
);

Read all about the maxDuration feature in the docs.

Update

Max duration is available starting from @trigger.dev/sdk version 3.0.10, upgrade using npx trigger.dev@latest update. If you are self-hosting, upgrade to version 3.0.10 or later of the server image.
