Code by Zapier action steps can now run for up to 10 minutes with extended runtimes. If your Code steps are failing with timeout errors, you can increase the runtime to give your code more time to complete.
Note
NoteExtended runtimes is in a free phase. After the free phase, this feature will consume additional tasks based on the runtime tier you select.
What does this mean for you?
If you've hit the runtime ceiling on Code steps or had to split logic across multiple Zaps, extended runtimes let you consolidate that work into a single step.
- Longer execution times: Configure a custom max runtime in your Code step settings, up to 10 minutes.
- Multi-API workflows: Chain multiple API calls, process large datasets, or run complex LLM operations without worrying about timeouts.
- Works with JavaScript and Python: Extended runtimes are available for both supported languages.
Availability
Extended runtimes are available for Code by Zapier actions only. Triggers do not support extended runtimes.
