When you get it
- A route, or a call it makes to another service, gives up on a request that took too long.
A task that exceeds its own timeout inside a flow does not produce this response. It fails that task run, and the execution reports it like any other task failure.
Example response
A response reporting this problem:
{ "type": "https://kestra.io/docs/api-reference/problems/timeout", "title": "Operation timed out", "status": 504, "detail": "An unexpected error occurred. Quote the traceId when contacting support.", "instance": "/api/v1/main/flows", "traceId": "e7a1c93b5d2f48e6b0a7c1d4f9e2b503"}How to handle it
Retry with backoff. Like every 5xx, the detail is fixed and the real cause is in the server log under the same traceId.
