Sometimes my deployments take more than the allotted 600 secs by default. I would like to increase this time. However, I see no documentation on how to do this, and this config does not work. What am I doing wrong?

```auto
  production:
    timeout: 1800
    branch: production
    commands:
      - pip install --upgrade awsebcli
      - echo -ne "2\n" | eb init slingshot -r us-west-1
      - eb deploy --timeout 30 -l $CIRCLE_BUILD_NUM slingshot-prod
      - bundle exec honeybadger deploy --environment=production

```

I figured it out

```auto
      - eb deploy --timeout 30 -l $CIRCLE_BUILD_NUM slingshot-prod:
          timeout: 1800

```

Hrm, for some reason, it doesn’t work for me ☹

staging:  
branch: master  
commands:  
- aws s3 cp s3://xxxx-artifacts/prana/latest-snapshot.txt prana\_latest.txt  
- aws s3 cp s3://xxxx-artifacts/prana/$(cat prana\_latest.txt).zip prana.zip  
- unzip prana.zip && rm -f prana.zip  
- rm -f venv  
- mv \* $CIRCLE\_ARTIFACTS/  
- git clone --single-branch --depth=1 git@github.xxxx/devops-cicd.git  
- ./devops-cicd/circleci/deploy.sh --aws-region us-west-2 --aws-account-alias xxxx-dev --target-aws-account-alias xxxx-staging --force-deploy  
timeout: 1800
