# Configuring the scheduled jobs timeout - deprecated in v16+

The default timeout for a schedule job to complete is set to 1800 seconds (30 minutes). If a job is required to run for a longer period of time, you can adjust the timeout by adding/modifying the value for the `ScheduledJobsTimeout` key under the `General` section in the server TLX.ini file, found in the server's `Config` folder.

{% code title="Server TLX.ini file" %}
```ini
[General]
  ScheduledJobsTimeout = 1800
```
{% endcode %}

This setting does not require a server restart and will be applied automatically for all scheduled jobs.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note, this setting only applies to scheduled job execution. If you need to increase the operation timeout for normal WCF communication, this can be achieved by following this guide:

[configuring-the-wcf-timeout](../configuration/configuring-the-wcf-timeout "mention")
{% endhint %}
