Summary

  • Adds explicit documentation that setupTimeout has a platform-enforced maximum of 10 minutes in Grafana Cloud k6.
  • Updates the setup timeout option reference (next/ and v1.6.x) with an admonition note stating the hard limit.
  • Updates the test lifecycle page (next/ and v1.6.x) with timeout context in the setup and teardown section.

This addresses customer confusion about whether the 10-minute limit can be configured, extended, or changed per subscription/organization.

Addresses https://github.com/grafana/support-escalations/issues/20212

Cloud docs (separate repo) - https://github.com/grafana/website/pull/29392

The Grafana Cloud k6 limits page and troubleshooting page live in a different repository and will be updated in a follow-up PR:

  • Limits page: add a row for maximum setup() execution time (10 minutes)
  • Troubleshooting page: add a section for tests failing during the setup phase
