I am currently using Google Apps Scripts to create a Drive Addon, and I noticed that if I leave a page idle for some time, the script functionality no longer executes (e.g. calls to google.script.run -- frontend-only stuff still works as expected)
I'm wondering if there is an idle timeout for apps script and if so, what kinds of techniques should I use to handle it cleanly?
Thanks!
I've managed to isolate the problem to having something to do with the Cache service provided by Apps Script. I wasn't aware that there was an expiry time on cache objects and have set it now to the maximum 6 hours. The default expiration is 600 seconds (10 minutes).

I have a google app script that execute the following actions:
Read a incoming webhook, write some information on a google spreadsheet, update a google contact and generates several outbound webhooks.
It takes aproximately 5 seconds to execute the whole script.
I would like to know how much times per day I can execute this script. I have seen the following web page but I am not sure in which feature my actions might fit, since there is no description of what those each feature means.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/quotas
Also I check in the google app script dashboard in hope I could find the current usage of my app script, but I only found that my script is execute 500 times per day for an average of 5 seconds per execution. In the future I am going to need to execute this app script more times, but I will like to know which is limit.
¿Where can I find my current app script consumption and which are the quotas for the features I am currently using?
As mentioned in the comments, Google Apps Script has a quota page that shows execution limits on various services.
Please note that you can get quota exception messages if you go near these limits but not go over them entirely.
Since you mentioned that you may need to execute your script more than 500 times a day, you might want to start optimizing your functions to take less time. You can start searching for resources on how to do this, for example in this post: Tracking total execution time Google apps script for an account
I have created a UI Page with Google Apps Script, it fetches data from a spreadsheet and display it in the Page. A function (added in JS Page) is called at a certain time interval continuously to refresh the content in the Page with the help of JavaScript method "setInterval(functionName,Time)". No other triggers are set for this refresh thing.
When I see the executions, the refresh things runs as a web app only.
Is the web App running time included in the total trigger run-time quota for apps script?
The doGet(e) and doPost(e) functions are sometimes referred to as triggers in the documentation so I believe using Web Apps do count towards your trigger quotas. They also count towards your script usage quotas as well.
You can run the script for 6 minutes on each execution, for daily executions time there is no reference but you might reach the limitation of triggers total runtime which is 90 min / day
To check other limitations please see: Quotas for Google Services
I am trying to build a Google Data Studio Connector, but I am facing a Google Apps Script timeout issue for UrlFetchApp.fetch(). Is there any way we can extend it or fix it, because it is breaking our reports.
It happens due to multiple calls to our API simultaneously.
is your script running for more than the typical 30 minutes allowed? I had a UrlFetch situation where the order of arguments impacted how long it took to run the script. And by modifying the order, we got our script to run in 2-3 minutes instead of timing out.
This question already exists:
Exceeded maximum execution time in Google Apps Script [duplicate]
Closed 7 years ago.
My Google script, which I'm runnig from script.google.com invokes a PHP script on a remote server. This PHP script works for a few minutes, maybe more.
How much time can the Google script wait for a response from server?
Check this advice from Google.
We do not increase script execution times on a per-domain basis. There are ways for you to accomplish your use-case without any increases, however. Instead of trying to do everything in one script's execution time, use a sequence of script executions (using triggers) to process batches of the overall job. You can use ScriptDB or another persistent datastore to keep track of the documents processed, and each subsequent triggered execution can read from this and pick up processing where the previous execution left off.
Better than "waiting" for the response, is making the PHP call a new function on GAS (sorta like a callback), to do this publish your GAS with the options "As me" and "Anyone, even anonymous". Then you can call the /exec link with Get/Post parameters and continue executing the function.
This is ofcourse if your editor on the PHP page.
I have a Google Apps Script that is running that I want to stop. I've tried deauthorizing it but that didn't work. Instead, it still tries to perform its actions, with each action (running every 5 minutes), failing due to lack of authorization. I want to halt the process entirely but I don't know how. Is there some way to view all running Google Apps Script processes for a given Google account?
Open any script in the script editor,go to the resource menu / triggers / all my triggers , choose the one you want to delete and delete it...
