Script Execution Time Limits
Each server script type and plug-in type has a limit on the amount of time it can run in a single execution. If the time limit is exceeded, an SSS_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error is thrown and script execution stops. However, a script may run for a long time, and you may not see the SSS_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error under these conditions:
-
The script performs a large number of record operations without exceeding the usage unit limit. See Script Type Usage Unit Limits for usage unit limits.
-
The script causes a large number of user event scripts or workflows to execute.
-
The script performs database queries or updates that collectively take a long time to finish.
Additionally, there is a 300 second (5-minute) time limit when scripts are executed in the SuiteScript 2.1 Debugger. For more information about metering in the debugger, see Script Debugger Metering and Permissions.
The following tables list the time limit (in seconds) for each script type, core plug-in type, and custom plug-in type.
