Each server script type and plug-in type has a limit on the amount of time it can run in a single execution. If the time limit is exceeded, an SSS_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error is thrown and script execution stops. However, a script may run for a long time, and you may not see the SSS_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error under these conditions:
- The script performs a large number of record operations without exceeding the usage unit limit.
- The script causes a large number of user event scripts or workflows to execute.
- The script performs database queries or updates that collectively take a long time to finish.
