What is "max_execution_time"? - "max_execution_time" is a setting in the PHP programming language that determines the maximum time a script can run before it is terminated. This value is expressed in seconds and is intended to prevent long-running scripts from overloading your package and causing the site to slow down or crash. For example, if "max_execution_time" is set to 30 seconds, the script will stop running after 30 seconds, even if it has not completed its task.
