How long does it take for a bulk import job to time out?

A bulk import job in DocuSign is designed to process large amounts of data efficiently. The timeout duration for such jobs is set to one day, allowing sufficient time for the system to handle the upload and subsequent processing of the imported data. This one-day timeout ensures that if a job takes longer than expected, it won't indefinitely hold resources and can be retried or monitored for issues, thereby maintaining system performance and reliability.

The reasoning behind this timeframe is to balance the need for effective data processing with system resource management. Setting a shorter timeout would risk cutting off legitimate jobs that may require a longer processing time due to their size or complexity. On the other hand, a much longer timeout, such as several days or a week, could lead to possible inefficiencies in system resource allocation. Therefore, a one-day limit is optimal for managing bulk import processes within the DocuSign platform.
