Vercel build was failing on the hobby plan because api/looney-check.js declared maxDuration: 300, but the hobby plan caps Serverless Functions at 60s.

Why this is safe (verified live):

  • Job creation (POST) returns a job_id in ~2.5s even for remote file URLs — the upstream is async (status: queued). Well within 60s.
  • The long-running research happens on the upstream Looney service, not on Vercel.
  • The client streams progress via SSE, and when the stream is cut at 60s it automatically falls back to polling the fast status endpoint every 2s (up to 5 min) until the job completes — src/utils/looneyChecker.ts streamLooneyJobwaitForTerminalJob.
  • Verified end-to-end: a real job completed in ~2.5 min via the same status endpoint the client polls.

Changes:

  • Set maxDuration to 60 (hobby max).
  • Bounded the upstream job-create timeout to 55s (was 30s; a 240s attempt in the working tree was based on the incorrect assumption that job creation blocks — it doesn't).

Verified with pnpm run build (passes).

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The API route now uses a 55-second timeout for upstream job creation. Its maximum execution duration is reduced from 300 seconds to 60 seconds. The route documents remote-file audio inspection before returning a job ID.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c1fc7

Although the change fixes the Hobby-plan duration configuration, it can prematurely terminate long-running event streams and leave too little time to complete cleanup after an upstream timeout. These are concrete user-facing and production risks that should be addressed before merging.

I’m a rabbit with a timer in sight,
Fifty-five seconds keeps the job just right.
The route now stops at sixty with care,
While audio checks finish in the air.
Hop, hop—the timeout path is clear!

Greptile Summary

The endpoint reduces its function duration to 60 seconds and calculates the job-creation request timeout from a request-wide deadline. The quota-release operation can still begin too late: under delayed parsing and quota work, a failed upstream request leaves only enough time for cleanup to finish after the hosting platform’s execution limit. A user can therefore lose a daily check allowance even though no job was created.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Not ready to merge until failed job creation reliably releases the reserved daily allowance before the function deadline.

One verified reliability failure remains in the job-creation failure path: quota cleanup can finish after the 60-second execution limit, so failed requests can remain charged.

    P1 Quota release exceeds the invocation deadline

    The remaining upstream timeout reserves no time for releaseRateLimit. With 39 seconds spent parsing, authenticating, and reserving quota, the upstream call can run until 50 seconds; if it then fails, an 11-second release RPC completes at 61 seconds. Since this function is limited to 60 seconds, the platform can terminate cleanup and leave a failed job attempt charged against the user’s daily allowance. Reserve a bounded cleanup window when calculating the upstream timeout.

    Artifacts

    Handler deadline harness source for the pre-change endpoint

    • The executable harness loads the parent handler, simulates delayed parsing, quota use, upstream timeout, and release, and writes its captured result; the takeaway is that the historical fixed timeout left cleanup far beyond the cap.

    Pre-change handler deadline result

    • Executed `HEAD^` handler output records HTTP 502 simulated upstream timeout and quota release completing at 105000ms against the 60000ms cap; the takeaway is that the original implementation could be terminated before cleanup.

    Handler deadline harness source for the current endpoint

    • The executable harness loads the current handler under the same controlled timing and captures the endpoint response and release completion time; the takeaway is that it tests whether the new deadline preserves cleanup time.

    Current handler deadline result

    • Executed current `HEAD` handler output records HTTP 502 simulated upstream timeout, an 11000ms remaining fetch budget, and quota release completion at 61000ms against the 60000ms cap; the takeaway is that the claimed failure remains possible.

  2. General comment

    P1 Quota release can still be terminated after the 50s upstream deadline

    • Bug
      • With parsing/auth/quota consuming 39s and release_looney_check_rate_limit taking 11s, current HEAD aborts the upstream at 50s but completes quota release at 61s. Since config.maxDuration is 60 seconds, Vercel can terminate the invocation before release completes, leaving a failed job attempt charged against quota.
    • Cause
      • remainingBudgetMs reserves no time for releaseRateLimit; it permits the upstream request to consume the entire 50s invocation budget, then begins asynchronous cleanup. Cleanup has neither a deadline nor a bounded reserved window before the platform's 60s hard cap.
    • Fix
      • Reserve a conservative cleanup allowance when computing the upstream timeout (for example, Math.max(0, invocationDeadline - Date.now() - RELEASE_BUDGET_MS)), and bound/observe the release RPC within that allowance. Select the allowance from release-RPC latency evidence and return before maxDuration: 60.

P1 Upstream timeout bypasses quota cleanup

The 55-second timeout starts only after request parsing, authentication, and the quota-reservation RPC, while the function has a 60-second total execution limit. If those earlier operations take more than roughly five seconds, the platform can terminate the request before the fetch abort handler runs releaseRateLimit. No job is created, but the user's daily reservation remains consumed. Budget the upstream request against a request-wide deadline and reserve enough time for cleanup, or make reservations expire transactionally when a request is interrupted.

Artifacts

Deterministic handler timing harness source

  • The executable source imports the real handler, stubs Supabase and upstream fetches, and models the timeout/deadline sequence to prove the cleanup timing path.

Captured deterministic handler timing harness source

  • The command capture records the exact harness source that was executed, demonstrating that the real handler invocation and deadline-aware Supabase stubs were used.

Handler timing test output showing release after deadline

  • The executed output records a control release before the deadline and a delayed path whose abort and release occur after the modeled deadline, confirming the consumed quota can remain unreleased.

Fixed in 90a6e21: replaced the fixed 55s timeout with a request-wide INVOCATION_BUDGET_MS (50s) deadline computed before request parsing/authentication. The upstream fetch is bounded by the remaining budget, so even with slow setup, the abort handler has guaranteed room to run releaseRateLimit before Vercel terminates the invocation at 60s.

maxDuration: 60 caps the whole invocation, but a fixed 55s upstream
timeout counted from after request parsing + quota RPC could push the
total past 60s, letting the platform terminate the invocation before
releaseRateLimit runs and consuming the user's daily quota with no job
created. Track a request-wide 50s budget and derive the upstream fetch
timeout from the remaining budget so cleanup always fits inside the cap.
