Problems with tasks and max execution time We've set up a task that's supposed to run through an external folder with images and resize them into 3 sizes each. This results in about 13000 tasks (one task per image). I thought each task was on a separate thread? But now the tasks are running for only 60 seconds (max_execution_time), then stopping. The task says running in the database, but it has just stopped, and the error log says max execution time was exceeded.

Is there a way around this? Would sub tasks change any behaviour?
Tasks are just another PHP request and they are subject to the same web server and php.ini limitations as a "normal" request.

Sounds like you just need to up your max_execution_time.
