Hey @faint-rocket-14513, tasks in the workflow are failing with "task execution timeout [3h0m0s] expired" error. What could be the possible reason(s) for this failure?

The error message "task execution timeout [3h0m0s] expired" indicates that the task has exceeded its allotted execution time, leading to an automatic failure. In Flyte, tasks can have specific timeouts set to prevent them from running indefinitely, which could potentially consume excessive resources or block other tasks from executing. There are a few possible reasons for this failure: 1. ​*Long-Running Process*​: The task might inherently take longer to complete than the timeout period allows. This could be due to the complexity of the task, the amount of data being processed, or inefficiencies in the code. 2. ​*Resource Constraints*​: The task might be running on a cluster or environment with limited resources (CPU, memory, I/O bandwidth), causing it to run slower than expected. 3. ​*External Dependencies*​: If the task relies on external services or databases, latency or downtime from these services could extend the task's execution time beyond the timeout limit. 4. ​*Configuration Issue*​: The timeout setting for the task might be misconfigured. It's possible that the timeout is set too short for the task's requirements. To address this issue, you could: • Review the task's complexity and optimize the code if possible. • Increase the task's timeout setting to accommodate its execution time, keeping in mind the balance between resource utilization and the necessity of completing the task. • Ensure that the task has sufficient resources allocated to it. • Check for any external dependencies that the task relies on and ensure they are performing as expected. For more detailed troubleshooting, consider enabling more verbose logging for the task or reviewing metrics and logs from the execution environment to identify bottlenecks or errors that could be contributing to the extended execution time. --- This is an AI-generated response, take its recommendations with caution.

Can we see logs to check why task failed ?

@millions-night-34157 we could start by checking at the Pod logs. Could you identify the execution pod?

kubectl get po -n <project-domain>

the pod name always include the execution id then you can do

kubectl logs <pod name> -n <project-domain>

Let me know if this helps

Thanks @average-finland-92144 The tasks which were failing with the timeout were

map tasks

and there wasn't any corresponding pod for these tasks. So I couldn't check the logs of these pods using kubectl.

and I guess there is no

timeout

configured, right?
