Sample that demonstrates code that should (but won't) execute after a GCF call times out.

func init() {
	functions.HTTP("Timeout", Timeout)
}

// Timeout sleeps for 2 minutes and may time out before finishing.
func Timeout(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	log.Println("Function execution started...")
	time.Sleep(2 * time.Minute)
	log.Println("Function completed!")
	fmt.Fprintln(w, "Function completed!")
}

  private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AfterTimeout.class.getName());

  // Simple function to return "Hello World"
  @Override
  public void service(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response)
      throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    logger.info("Function running...");
    TimeUnit.MINUTES.sleep(2);

    // May not execute if function's timeout is <2 minutes
    logger.info("Function completed!");
    BufferedWriter writer = response.getWriter();
    writer.write("Function completed!");
  }
}

Node.js

 * execute due to function execution timeout
 *
 * @param {Object} req Cloud Function request context.
 * @param {Object} res Cloud Function response context.
 */
functions.http('afterTimeout', (req, res) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    // May not execute if function's timeout is <2 minutes
    console.log('Function running...');
    res.end();
  }, 120000); // 2 minute delay
});

Python

import time

    # May not execute if function's timeout is <2 minutes
