# Timeout Override

You can override the default timeout duration for individual nodes by selecting a timeout level. This is useful when some steps are expected to take longer than others.

**Available timeout levels:**

* **Fast** – Uses the default timeout set in your account settings.
* **Slow** – Doubles the default timeout.
* **Very Slow** – Increases the timeout to 10 times the default.

The default timeout is configured under **Settings → Account → Runner**.

Use this option for steps that may take longer, such as loading large datasets or waiting on third-party services.
