Hi guys & girls,

I have this script, which starts a flowcard “send a push confirmation to userX”;  
it works well, but it times out after 30s already when there’s not been a response yet.  
However, the ‘real’ flowcard “send a push confirmation to userX” times out after 30 minutes (which seems reasonable).

Any thoughts?

`Error: at Timeout._onTimeout (/node_modules/athom-api/dist/index.js:1:1318770)`  
`at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:559:17)`  
`at processTimers (node:internal/timers:502:7)`

Code:

```auto
const response = await Homey.flow.runFlowCardCondition({
        uri: 'homey:manager:mobile',
        id: 'push_confirm',
        args: {
			    user: {
			    athomId: 'myUserAthomID'
		    	},
		    text: 'Test push confirmation from HomeyScript test-push_confirmation.js'
        },
      });

// This is used to catch the Yes or No returned by user 
const obj = response;
const params = new URLSearchParams(obj).toString();
let result = params.slice(49,54)

//console.log("Result: " + result);

    if ( result == "false" ) {
    return(false)
    }
    else
    return(true)
  }

```

HomeyScript scripts are not intended [to run longer than 30 seconds](https://github.com/athombv/com.athom.homeyscript/blob/eb92bffee1974327060fbd5c76a10f096ee24805/app.js#L18). That’s hardcoded in the app.

Allright then hehe. Thanks Robert.  
Makes sense, but I didn’t know that fact yet.
