Hey everyone!

I’ve been using Serverless for a while but am having a problem here. My function is in python and appears to be duplicating every 2 minutes or so with different request ID’s.

I did some googling and it appears like this has something to do with a cli\_read\_timeout? But I am unsure how to change this with serverless… Any help would be much appreciated as I can’t use my function atm.

And yeah, I have changed the general timeout of the function to 15 mins. Thanks  
If it runs for under 2 mins, it’s fine. Thanks
