App Engine's request handlers put a hard limit on how quickly the code must respond and if that is exceeded it internally throws an exception. This will result in a 500 error to the http caller and this can't be caught by your GAE code and it cannot be overridden. This is one of the tradeoffs when using a PaaS. If more control is desired/needed so your software is on a more general web server, you'll need to use something like Kubernetes or Compute Engine.
Task queues / cron / cloud tasks can take substantially longer and are dependent on the type of GAE instance. In some cases the max time is 10 minutes, in other cases I believe it can go 24 hours. Regardless, if the work can be broken up in the task/cron so it detects when it is nearing some limit, it can save some info about where it was and re-schedule itself to run again. -Larry On Fri, Jan 31, 2020 at 7:59 AM Patrice B <patrice.bertrand...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you for your time.
