04/25/2023, 5:19 PMHi, I wanted to know if I create a worker that uploads a large file (multiple GBs) to R2 and it takes a long time (lets say above 20 minutes), will the worker time out? I understand that there are reasons to think about multi-part here but I just wanted to know the answer to this independently of multipart considerations. Thanks
