# Eval timeout errors for initial scorers

export const plans_0 = "Enterprise"

export const deployments_0 = "Self-hosted"

export const data_plane_version_0 = undefined

export const use_case_0 = "Use case - Self-hosted evals with scorers requiring longer execution time"

<Note>
  **Applies to:**

  * Plan - {plans_0}
  * Deployment - {deployments_0}
  * {data_plane_version_0}
  * {use_case_0}
</Note>

Summary

**Issue:** Eval scorers timeout during execution with errors indicating function execution exceeded time limits. This occurs when scorers take longer than the default 30-second timeout in self-hosted deployments.

**Cause:** The `CODE_FUNCTION_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_S` environment variable defaults to 30 seconds, which is insufficient for complex scorers.

**Resolution:** Set `CODE_FUNCTION_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_S` on both APIHandler and AIProxy services in your deployment configuration.

## Resolution Steps

### For Terraform AWS deployments

#### Step 1: Update service\_extra\_env\_vars

Add `CODE_FUNCTION_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_S` to both APIHandler and AIProxy in your Terraform configuration.

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-dimmed"}}
service_extra_env_vars = {
  APIHandler = {
    CODE_FUNCTION_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_S = "120"
  }
  AIProxy = {
    CODE_FUNCTION_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_S = "120"
  }
}

```

#### Step 2: Apply configuration

Run `terraform apply` to redeploy the data plane with updated timeout settings.

### For other deployment methods

#### Step 1: Set environment variable

Add `CODE_FUNCTION_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_S` as an environment variable to both APIHandler and AIProxy services with matching values (maximum 900 seconds).

#### Step 2: Restart services

Restart both services for the configuration to take effect.
