Time Limits

Cap wall-clock execution time

Stop workflows after N seconds.

Usage

from splinter import Gateway, ExecutionLimits

gateway = Gateway(limits=ExecutionLimits(
    max_time_seconds=300,  # 5 minutes max
))

Error Handling

from splinter.exceptions import TimeLimitExceededError

try:
    result = await workflow.run()
except TimeLimitExceededError as e:
    print(f"Time limit exceeded: {e.elapsed:.2f}s >= {e.limit:.2f}s")

Metrics

metrics = gateway.get_metrics()
print(f"Elapsed: {metrics['elapsed_seconds']:.2f}s")

Use Cases

• SLA compliance: Ensure workflows complete in time
• Resource management: Free up resources after timeout
• User experience: Don’t leave users waiting forever
