# Query Timeout

If your query takes longer to run than expected, the query timeout setting aborts query execution. This will help you save time and lower costs resulting from long-running, unoptimized queries.

The minimum query timeout that can be set is 5 seconds.

If a query timeout is not required, toggle off the Query timeout option. This is not recommended.
