Many of my deployed sites, shows "Timeout Timed out waiting for runtime. runtime_timeout"

even that was perfectly build and working.

TL;DR
Developers experiencing timeout errors on their sites with Appwrite Apps should consider increasing the Resources Limit to 1CPU, 1024 MB RAM. If the issue persists, try deploying with higher specifications or optimizing the site for faster performance, like pre-rendering or static serving. Refreshing the site or redeploying may also help resolve the timeout errors.

also experienced this issue, after many many refreshes it started working again. is appwrite cloud stopping runtimes if they do not have traffic?

Oh, yes, throws timeout. Probably because the site is very heavy and takes a lot of time to start

Incognito

Go to the site settings and set the Resource Limits to something higher

Yes, that's somewhat heavy, but nothing out of this world

Try this

ok... let me try..

It's loading now, looks like the site or your config makes it run slow server side and needs either more resources or more optimization, like pre-rendering/static serving more content I think

I am using SSR, and total size is just 220 MB, also Build takes 8-10 minutes... I have chosen 1,2 CPU but still showing same Timed out waiting for runtime. It happens with many users.

Finally, it deployed again and now it can be accessed.

I am having a very very similar issue with my site since I deployed to Appwrite Sites, I get a timed out error pretty frequently. It works sometimes, but mostly times out. Funny enough I have very similar specs as @ASHQKING. My build size is 208mb and my build duration is 8m 2s. Node 22, Next.js 16.

The same exact site is also deployed on Netlify and it deployed in 56s.

You can try increase Resources Limit to 1CPU, 1024 MB RAM

It works for me now.

I'm gonna try to up it to 2CPU, 2048 MB and and redeploy to see if it helps.
