You can now set the timeout value for a function to any value up to 15 minutes. When the specified timeout is reached, AWS Lambda terminates execution of your Lambda function. As a best practice, you should set the timeout value based on your expected execution time to prevent your function from running longer than intended.

This feature is available in all regions where AWS Lambda is available. Please visit our product page for more information about AWS Lambda or log in to the AWS Lambda console to get started.
