Time Limit Error in UiPath Community Edition – Need Clarification

[pablo.lopez]

Hello UiPath Community,

I am encountering an issue with my automation running on the UiPath Community Edition. I scheduled a process to run overnight, but it was canceled due to reaching the time limit. However, according to the logs, the execution lasted only about 15 minutes before being stopped.

I have attached a screenshot of the job details for reference.

Process Overview:

The automation reads a Google Sheets file containing a list of leads and loads them into a CRM that does not have a REST API. The process interacts with the CRM via UI automation.

Questions:

1. What is the exact execution time limit for the Community Edition running on Cloud Robots - Serverless?
2. Is there a way to increase the execution time within the Community plan?
3. Would it be possible to run this process using the UiPath Assistant on my local machine to manipulate desktop applications, given that I am using the Community Edition?

I appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you!

Best regards

Hey @pablo.lopez
If you’re using UiPath Cloud Robots - Serverless, the execution time is limited to 15 minutes per run. If your automation was canceled due to this limit, you can try optimizing your workflow, splitting it into multiple smaller workflows, or running it on your local machine using UiPath Assistant, which does not have this restriction.

I’d like to add, community edition is NOT for commercial.

If you are using it to run automations that are reading data from Google Sheets and uploading to a CRM, then you are violating the terms of the licencing agreement you agreed to when you started using the software as that is commercial use, not personal.

You need to change your plan and purchase some sort of licence or stop running this automation.

Hi @pablo.lopez

The execution time limit for the UiPath Community Edition running on Cloud Robots - Serverless is 2 hours. There is no way to increase this limit within the Community plan. However, you can run your automation using the UiPath Assistant on your local machine, which allows for direct interaction with desktop applications and avoids the cloud execution limits.
