[CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:155)

I'm running a python flask app on Railway. My app uses python's langchain library to interact with the openai api. Requests are long, and I get the following error consistently: [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:155)

is there anyway to extend the timeout period?

N/A

default timeout is 30s do your requests take longer than that?

Yes, OpenAI is slow when handling bigger requests

okay what is your start command?

i have none

(new to railway - that's my first project)

Procfile?

looking into it. The documentation isn't very extensive on the topic though

the procfile would be in your project

as a file

oh ok

send it please

yep got it. it's got this: web: gunicorn main:app

change the file contents to
web: gunicorn --timeout 300 main:app

oh nice

I'll do this now and let you know

so far seems very stable! 🙂

If ever sthg changes I will let you know but thanks a lot !

no problem!

Worked for me too. Thanks Brody
