I’m experiencing a build problem today with the build failing due to exceeding the 15 min build time. However I believe this account should be exempt from that restriction - I did a build a few days ago which took longer than this without issue.

Site name is currently ‘eloquent-darwin-74a5e4’.

Can your remove the restriction?

Can I also ask if there is any way to speed up the post build process? Based on my last experience I think the site took around 20 mins to build (it’s a large site and this is the build from scratch with no caching) but somewhere in the region of 70 mins to deploy. I appreciate it’s a large site but wondered if there are any options.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@perry - is the 30 min configurable?

Hey there, @cfh463 👋

Welcome to the Netlify Forums! I am not sure I fully understand your question. Are you asking for a build time limit increase? If you are, we require folks to have a credit card on file before we complete the increase. This is incase your build minutes go over the allotted amount for the month.

Let me know how we can help you 🙂
