When deploying Functions from local machine using `` doctl serverless . --remote-build `` There is a max 2 minutes timeout, which may not be enough for several Functions and/or more complex Function being deployed. An error is received: `` Error: While deploying action 'app/transcribe' (running remote build): The function exceeded its time limits of 120000 milliseconds. `` Trying to workaround this using the 'watch' flag in the doctl command is useless, as it is not incremental as it should, besides, not always you want a real-time incremental deployment anyway. A manual deployment must not fail due to arbitrary timeout while the actual deployment of the Function on the servers are still in progress.
