Vercel Workflow steps jump from 800 seconds to 30 minutes on Pro and Enterprise

Vercel Changelog·medium signal

Vercel more than doubled the max duration for Workflow steps to 1,800 seconds, up from 800, via extended function durations now in beta. Enabling it requires setting `VERCEL_ENABLE_WORKFLOW_EXTENDED_MAX_DURATION=1` and redeploying, plus Fluid compute and a compatible Node.js or Python runtime; Hobby stays capped at 300 seconds. This is the practical unblock for long-running agent steps that previously had to be artificially chunked to fit under 13 minutes.
