For Cloud Run services, the request timeout setting specifies the time within which a response must be returned by services deployed to Cloud Run. If a response isn't returned within the time specified, the request ends and error 504 is returned.
The timeout is set by default to 5 minutes and can be extended up to 60 minutes.
You can change this setting when you deploy a container image or by updating the service configuration.
In addition to changing the Cloud Run request timeout, you should also check your language framework to see whether it has its own request timeout setting that you must also update.
Setting and updating request timeout
Any configuration change leads to the creation of a new revision. Subsequent revisions will also automatically get this configuration setting unless you make explicit updates to change it.
You can set request timeout using the Cloud console, the gcloud command line, or a YAML file when you create a new service or deploy a new revision.
Console
Click Create Service if you are configuring a new service you are deploying to. If you are configuring an existing service, click on the service, then click Edit and Deploy New Revision.
If you are configuring a new service, fill out the initial service settings page as desired, then click Next > Container, Variables & Secrets, Connections, Security to reach the service configuration page.
Click the Container tab.
In the Request timeout field, enter the timeout value that you want to use in seconds. Use values ranging from
1
to3600
seconds, or from 1 to60
minutes.Click Create or Deploy.
Command line
You can update the request timeout for a given revision at any time by using the following command:
gcloud run services update [SERVICE] --timeout=[TIMEOUT]
Replace
[SERVICE]
with the name of your service.[TIMEOUT]
with the desired time, using an integer value or an absolute duration value, for example1m20s
which is 1 minute, 20 seconds. If you use an integer value, the unit is assumed to be seconds. The value you specify must be less than 60 minutes.
You can also set the request timeout during deployment using the command:
gcloud run deploy --image IMAGE_URL --timeout=[TIMEOUT]
Replace
IMAGE_URL
with a reference to the container image, for example,us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/hello:latest
[TIMEOUT]
with the desired time, using an integer value or a duration value, for example1m20s
which is 1 minute, 20 seconds. If you use an integer value, the unit is assumed to be seconds. The value you specify must be less than 60 minutes.
YAML
You can download and view existing service configuration using the
gcloud run services describe --format export
command, which yields
cleaned results in YAML format. You can then modify the fields described below and
upload the modified YAML using the gcloud run services replace
command.
Make sure you only modify fields as documented.
To view and download the configuration:
gcloud run services describe SERVICE --format export > service.yaml
Update the
timeoutSeconds
attribute:apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1 kind: Service metadata: name: SERVICE spec: template: spec: containers: - image: IMAGE timeoutSeconds: VALUE
Replace
- SERVICE with the name of your Cloud Run service
- IMAGE with the URL of your container image.
- VALUE with the desired timeout, in seconds.
Replace the service with its new configuration using the following command:
gcloud run services replace service.yaml

Click the Revisions tab.
In the details panel at the right, the request timeout setting is listed under the Container tab.
Command line
Use the following command:
gcloud run services describe SERVICE
