Hello,
I have an Azure Function, Python runtime, Consumption Plan.
The host.json file looks like this:
Even though the functionTimeout is set to 10mins, the Function still times out at 5mins.
I've tried Stopping/Restarting the Function App and also re-publishing the Function. Nothing works. Hoping someone has come across this before and can help out.
Hi,
It appears you don't have it at the root of the function app. Please try setting it there and test, similar to below:

Hi,
Are you able to connect using ftp and see if host.json is under wwwroot? If it isn't there you could try manually uploading it and then testing if the timeout is increased to 10 minutes. The idea is to see if you can confirm the cause of the timeout issue, and if you "fix" that you can work on figuring out why file isn't being deployed to wwwroot (or whatever else is going on).
Just now I created new python function app using portal and it has host.json under wwwroot as expected, and I can view it in portal + access via ftp. Of course this isn't the same as using vscode or one of the other many ways you can deploy, but I thought I'd mention it to you. I didn't test extending timeout to 10 minutes.
Hi @seadude I did quick tests just to verify the timeout setting was working with python function app. First I set limit to 1 minute and verified that execution was cancelled with timeout value exceeded error logged after roughly 60000ms. Second I set it to 10 minutes and it was cancelled with timeout value exceeded error after 600010ms. Error shown below:
Aha... For some reason I had two host.json files, one in the project root (where it was supposed to be) and one in the function directory (the one I was looking at/editing).
If I would have expanded the function directory in the above screenshot, I would have seen it.
I added the functionTimeout code to the correct host.json file and redeployed. I'm sure it will be fine now.
Thank you for the sanity check and for the kind responses.
Take care!
