Why is this time limit in code playground?

Question

This is so frustrating. How much time it'll to recover? .

Answer 1

If you mean when it says "time limit exceeded" that can be caused by various things. It could be the server itself has too much traffic so it couldn't process the request before it timed out. It could mean that you accidentally created an infinite loop and it got stuck in infinity until it timed out. etc...

Use Code Playground when your intent is to share with people here or when you're working on websites or when you're working on something that's less advanced. Because it's being compiled on their server and the output simply printed to you, there will always been limitations in place. Why? Think about if I could send a bunch of requests to their server and it wouldn't ever time out or regulate what I'm sending it; I could destroy their system (at least temporarily shut it down) easily if they allowed that. More importantly, imagine if any code was allowed to be shared with the public and was unregulated; lot of security implications.

For real learning and projects, I would recommend that you download and IDE so you can work on it from your local, unrestricted machine.

Answer 2

from testing, i reckon the server-side code execution TL is about 10-15 seconds
