My origin need to talk to back-end B2B server which requires more than 100 seconds to complete transaction and return http response. Can I change the default value of 100 seconds set by Cloudflare to avoid 524 error? If yes how? Thanks…

I am afraid you cant.

Thanks Sandro.

Cloudflare Support document provide the solution by migrating the long-running process to another subdomain that is not managed by Cloudflare:

Migrate long-running processes

If you regularly run HTTP requests that take over 100 seconds to complete (for example large data exports), consider moving those long-running processes to a subdomain that is not proxied by Cloudflare. That subdomain would have the orange cloud icon toggled to grey in the Cloudflare DNS Settings . Note that you cannot use a Page Rule to circumvent Error 524.

Just do not really clear how to go about doing it…

You simply unproxy your DNS record by switching to :grey: as the documentation suggested. Keep in mind, this will reveal your origin’s address (should that be of concern).

Thanks Sandro…
