Vercel workflow steps can now run 30 minutes, up from just over 13

Vercel raised the maximum duration of a single workflow step to 1,800 seconds on Pro and Enterprise plans on 24 July 2026, up from 800 seconds; the Hobby tier stays at 300 seconds. The beta requires Fluid compute, a supported Node.js or Python runtime, and an environment-variable change before redeploy.

What it means Long agent steps have been split across invocations purely to dodge a timeout; a 30-minute ceiling removes a chunk of that plumbing.
