Default Workflow REST API timeout

1. I was wondering if anyone knows what the default BuildShip REST API nodes timeout is?
2. Is there a way to allow a request to be longer than e.g. 10 minutes on BuildShip? Maybe with something else than the REST API?

For BuildShip REST API nodes, there are specific timeout limits to be aware of:

1. Default Timeout for REST API Nodes: The default timeout for REST API nodes is 120 seconds (2 minutes). If an API call exceeds this time, the request will timeout.
2. Total Execution Timeout for Workflows: There is a total execution timeout limit of 540 seconds (9 minutes) for the entire workflow.

To handle longer processes, you can use alternatives like the Scheduled Jobs trigger, break down workflows into smaller ones connected via webhooks, or use the BuildShip Trigger node to chain workflows together. For specific use cases requiring extended runtimes, it's advisable to contact BuildShip support directly.
