Wordpress strange 524 when doing things on wp-admin

May I ask what action do you do or run that triggers timeout?
Why so long time for the execution of a running script?

True, it happened to me few times when using for example plugins to import data from Joomla to WordPress which took a while. It timed out, but in the background the server was working and done the needed job.

That’s kind a strange behaviour.

What WordPress version are you running?
Are you using official Cloudflare for WordPress plugin?

Any Page Rules active at Cloudflare dashboard for your domain?

Okay, I see.

Are you using HTTPS or HTTP connection?
How about SSL certificate?

Cloudflare does not control your server PHP timeout.
PHP server timeout is setup at web server (php.ini file), while Cloudflare typically Cloudflare waits for 100 seconds for an HTTP response. Enterprise customers can increase the 524 timeout up to 600 seconds if needed.
