We are using flowable for orchestrating our microservices, one of the micro service is taking more than 30 minutes sometimes. Is there a timeout setting in flowable that timeouts waiting asynch service task if it is not picked up by the executor pool in certain time? After a certain time, i see that the jobs just go to dead letter queue. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe it’s one of the asyncExecutor config properties. However it’s better to configure timeouts on the task level.
