Scheduled Jobs on App Platform Timeout

Posted on January 1, 2026

I have a python code that will only have scheduled jobs. Every day at a fixed time like 2am, I need to run a specific function in main.py file I noticed I can do this via the scheduled jobs feature. But my function can take upto an hour to complete and I found a doc saying job deployement timeout are 30 minutes. (https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/details/limits/) Does this timeout apply to my use case as well?
