GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Generating screenshots (thumbnails, PDFs, and images) is causing problems for certain tables and charts
<!-- Answer --> Yes, in Superset 5.0.0, the only way to increase the screenshot/PDF/image generation timeout is to change the hardcoded soft_time_limit in the Celery task decorators in the code. The value is set directly in the decorators (e.g., @celery_app.task(..., soft_time_limit=300)), so any configuration in CELERY_CONFIG is ignored for these tasks. This is a change from 4.1.2, where the timeout could be set via configuration, which explains why everything worked before the upgrade. If a dashboard contains a chart that times out (fails to generate a thumbnail), the whole export fails for that dashboard in 5.0.0. There are no other workarounds documentedâpatching the code is required to raise the limit and avoid SoftTimeLimitExceeded errors for slow-rendering charts or dashboards.
