I found the SDK 1.4.1 has increased the limit, but I don't know what's the offline URL Fetch:

The deadline for offline URL Fetch API requests for Python and Java have been increased to a maximum of 10 minutes. The default deadline for offline URL Fetch requests remains the same.

Does it mean the URL Fetch requests sent from cron jobs or tasks?

Strange. I saw no notice that 1.4.1 SDK had been released. And the
Launcher still says 1.4.0 is the latest. Where did you find the
release notes for this SDK?

Only a little change.

That's correct. We refer to cron jobs and task queue tasks as 'offline' requests.

Not sure I'm inline with this.

How 10min URLFetch limit is relevant is request is limited to 30seconds? What am I missing something?

Offline tasks are not limited to 30 seconds anymore. This change was
made with the last (or the one before it?) release.

So the max deadline of an "online" urlfetch call is still 10 seconds?

What happens if I try to set it to, say, 20 seconds, for an online
urlfetch call? Is the deadline maxed out at 10 seconds or remains the
default 5 seconds?

Because if it's the former then I can use the same code for both
online and offline scenarios.

Thanks.

If you specify a deadline greater than the max, it will be capped at the max deadline.
