EarlyDrop in edge function

I have an edge function that sends requests to openrouter for an LLM response, but it's shutting down early with this error

@jz edge functions have tight execution and memory limits optimize your request handling or move heavy tasks (like LLM API calls) to a serverless function or background job outside the edge runtime

inder•3w ago
Edge functions are already serverless functions

jzOP•3w ago
yeah thats what i was thinking, they should work :Link_Think:

You must be hitting edge function limits https://supabase.com/docs/guides/functions/limits

jzOP•3w ago
not sure which limit i could be hitting though theres basically no CPU time its getting a response within 150s maybe 400s wall time

Do you receive 546 status code when functions exits? If there was memory/cpu/wall-clock limit, 546 is received https://supabase.com/docs/guides/troubleshooting/edge-function-wall-clock-time-limit-reached-Nk38bW
