Only Enterprise plans can increase the timeout.

You would need another workaround for long running scripts such as…

  • Reduce the tasks or optimise the script so it completes faster, or break it up into separate requests
  • Don’t use the Cloudflare proxy and have a dedicated subdomain that is set to “DNS only” for long-running scripts, controlling the timeout at your server
  • Change the implementation so that loading the page starts the process and have the client poll at intervals for completion

I have enterprise plan. How do I set this?

Use the API…

“Enterprise customers can increase the 524 timeout up to 6,000 seconds using the Edit zone setting endpoint (proxy_read_timeout setting).”

From this page…

I am not clear on how to edit zone setting. THe instructions are not very detailed
