Hi MiyukiAmino,

I've created PR #443 to highlight this timeout. If you'd like specific advice about optimizing your script to avoid the timeout, I'd recommend posting on Stack Overflow with the tag office-scripts. Stack Overflow is a good forum our team and members of the community to help with specific issues.

Please let me know if you have any concerns with the PR or any other questions. Otherwise, this issue will close when the PR is checked in.
