XF 1.5 120 second timeout - where is it set?

[DWJames]

Hi all,
I'm running into issues running an image conversion process on many many threads and am getting error messages about a

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded

so I've asked my host, but they assure me that on our server

There is no timeout defined for CLI tasks. So the 120 second arbitrary limit you are seeing would look like you are setting it in your code.

by which I guess they mean it's set within Xenforo as we have nothing else on this server.
I can't see any mention of a timeout setting in my library/config.php file and tools/phpinfo says

max_execution_time    7200    7200

So where is this 120 second timeout restriction likely to be coming from?

thanks,
James

php maybe?
max_execution_time

I'd guess it's coming from the abstract deferred class, but presumably you're running custom code so you can just reset the time limit in PHP back to 0 (unlimited).

Just to follow up on this, I have the same timeout issue with rebuilding my attachment thumbnails where I'm getting a timeout, but the thing that's really confusing me is that it takes about 10 seconds of processing before the message comes back to tell me

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in /domains/mydomain.com/http/forum/library/XenForo/Image/ImageMagick/Pecl.php on line 323

So something's not quite right somewhere.
Server error log says

If it helps, line 323 of pecl.php is

echo $this->_image->getImagesBlob();
