Hi,  
I am working on a personal website under [https://newdawnretreats.com](https://newdawnretreats.com) and I am running into a function crash in \_\_\_netlify-handler when trying to redirect in a nextjs api. It keeps timing out after 10 seconds. Not really sure what it is doing or how to fix it. Any help?

Hi @nathandcarter21 👋🏿 it’s likely you will need a function increase which is why it’s timing out. If you upgrade to a pro tier or higher your functions can increase up to a max of 26s.

When running locally, how long does the request take?
