Hello Robert, The actual description of the option is: "etaMillis(long etaMillis) Sets the approximate absolute time to execute." on the "com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue" documentation page <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/taskqueue/TaskOptions>, "Method Summary" sub-chapter. Your option sets an approximate value, that may increase under heavy load, as you already noticed.
You are right, taking control of the execution time for your tasks with a dedicated strategy and appropriate re-scheduling should avoid these huge delays. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
