# How to configure a component timeout?

Each component in a flow (such as tool modules, triggers, etc.) can be configured with a specific execution time and a number of retry attempts before an error occurs.

Additionally, you can set a maximum time limit for the complete execution of the flow.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the maximum flow execution time setting is 15 minutes.
{% endhint %}

Therefore, it is important to ensure that the component settings align with those of the flow.

### **Practical Example** 

Consider a module configured with a 5 minute execution time and 2 retry attempts.

However, in the “**Settings**” section, under the "**Execution Settings**" tab, the flow is configured with a **maximum execution time** of 5 minutes.

In this example, there will be a conflict, resulting in an error when executing the flow.

Therefore, when configuring the execution time for a flow, it is recommended to consider the cumulative execution times of each component to avoid errors during flow execution.

### **Component execution settings**

In addition to adjusting the execution time for each component individually, you can also set a default execution time pattern for all components.

To do this, go to "**Settings**", then the "**Execution Settings**" tab, and configure the component time in "**Component execution settings**".

{% hint style="warning" %}
Importan&#x74;**:** Components that have already been configured or added previously will not be changed. Only new components will follow the new settings established in this area.
{% endhint %}
