Hi,
We’re using Temporal in production to manage our clients’ scheduled automations. Recently, I’ve noticed a rise in Workflow Task Timeout errors — from zero to 60 over the past two weeks.
To address this, I increased the timeout settings, but the issue persists. Here’s the current configuration:
- Worker
StickyScheduleToStartTimeout: 2m - Workflow
WorkflowTaskTimeout: 2m - Activity
ScheduleToStartTimeout: 2m - Activity
StartToCloseTimeout: 1m
The Workflow Task Timeout seems to occur randomly — sometimes right after the first activity completes, sometimes after the second, and occasionally after a signal is received. It feels like the workflow is idling after completing a task, waiting for something that never happens.
Any insights on what might be causing this?
