As per the documentation, any request above 240 seconds times out on azure app service.

    Found this here:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/839464/how-to-increase-api-timeout-on-azure-which-in-depl.html

    As you are aware, the 230 seconds is a timeout configured at the Azure App service load balancer. This is a part of the Azure App service architecture and cannot be configured or changed.
    Here is an explanation of the architecture, it is for HTTP triggered function but it is applicable for Azure App service as well: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/758823/httptrigger-response-timeout.html
    Official documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/general/web-apps-performance-faqs#why-does-my-request-time-out-after-230-seconds
    I hope this helps!
