Good morning, Since switching to version 7, when I have to print more than 10 invoices at once the process crashes with this single message in the logs: [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT The process worked perfectly in previous versions and I can’t find how to increase this timeout. Thank you in advance for your feedback Olivier ---

Good morning, it seems you have the workers activated in the `trytond.conf` file. Did you also start at least one `trytond-worker` service? ---

Hello, In my configuration file I specified: [queue] worker=false But actually I have this line in the logs after restarting the server: [INFO] Using worker: sync ---

What happens when you remove the complete section (the default of `worker` is `False`)? ---

Basically there was nothing in this section, I tried a bit of everything before coming to talk about it here. ---

I solved the problem by adding: timeout=3600 in the file /etc/gunicorn.conf.py ---

@ced , in the corresponding [MR](https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton-docker/-/merge_requests/19#note_338817) you say, there is an environment variable to set the gunicorn timeout in docker. I am facing also the problem @pokoli experienced, that using `GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS="--timeout 0"` doesn’t work. Can you help and explain, how to do it? Thank you. ---

If it does not work for you, you should see with gunicorn project.
