Hi all,

On our self-hosted temporal platform, we are getting a lot of non-zero metrics data points, around 1~2k per minute, generated as task\_requests{operation=“TimerActiveTaskWorkflowTaskTimeout”}. Does it indicate high volume of workflow task timeout? We just use the default 10s timeout for workflow task.

Thanks,  
Jerry

Yes, it’s emitted when processing workflow task timeouts.  
Can you check and share some of your relevant workflow executions histories where you see WorkflowTaskFailed events?
