It sounds like you need a function timeout increase. We can definitely bump you up to 26 seconds, but you’ll need to be on the Pro tier for us to make that change - that’s a requirement that applies to everyone who wants a bigger timeout. You can upgrade to Pro easily through the Netlify UI dashboard.
If you don’t want to upgrade your tier you can give this support guide a read this may help you minimize your use of functions so it doesn’t timeout as easily. [Support Guide] Why is my function timing out?
But why is it even timing out in the first place? I’m not using any of Netlify’s lambda functions. We never faced this problem when using vercel’s free tier.
