# Workflow steps now support extended function durations

**[Vercel](https://daily.dev/sources/vercel)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Vercel Workflow steps on Pro and Enterprise plans can now run for up to 30 minutes (1800 seconds), up from the previous 800-second limit. To enable this, set the environment variable VERCEL_ENABLE_WORKFLOW_EXTENDED_MAX_DURATION to 1 and redeploy. The feature requires Fluid compute and a supported Node.js or Python runtime. Hobby plans remain capped at 5 minutes. The feature is currently in beta.
