Timeout error in Azure Function (with Visual Studio)

Question

I am deploying an Azure Function from Visual Studio Code. Every time I add some new changes in the Azure Function and I deploy it, I am getting a timeout error at the begining (after a few minutes it starts working correctly).

The weird thing is that on my host.json file I have set:

"functionTimeout": "00:30:00"

and I receive the timeout error at 4-5 minutes after I do a request to de Azure Function.

When I check the logs on Azure Monitor, I can see a message that says: "Timeout value of 00:30:00 exceeded by function"

I have seen a similar error in this question: Azure Function: Old code still running after a deployment

So I guess that old files are still running. I have tried the same solution, but still not working, maybe deploying from Visual Studio needs another configuration...

Any ideas?

Cheers

What's the plan that you use for your function? If you're using a Consumption plan, default timeout is 5 mins and you can set it up to 10 mins max. If you're using a Premium plan, maximum timeout is 60 mins. If you have a dedicated App Service plan, you could set your timeout as long as you want to, though making a function run for a very long time isn't advisable.
