Fix: Vercel Pricing & Function Duration Limits

Error: Task timed out after 10 seconds. Your function exceeded the maximum execution time.

What does this error mean?

Vercel Hobby and Pro plans have strict limits on 'Max Duration' for Serverless Functions. If your AI agent or data processor takes longer than 10s (Hobby) or 60s (Pro), Vercel will kill the process.

Common Causes

Long-running AI inference requests (GPT-4o/Claude 3.5)
Heavy image processing or PDF generation in API routes
Slow database queries without proper indexing

How to Fix It (2 Solutions)

Increase maxDuration in Config

If you are on the Pro plan, you can explicitly increase the timeout in your page.tsx or route.ts.

Code

export const maxDuration = 60; // Up to 300 on Pro

Use Vercel KV or Upstash for Progress

For very long tasks, return a 202 Accepted immediately and use a background job to process data, updating status in a KV store.
