Exceeded maximum excecution time.

[Ailis]

Hello! Sorry for the bad language right away (I use a translator). I read many topics with this problem, unfortunately I could not find an answer. The problem is obvious, it takes longer than 6 minutes.

But! I am using this simple script:

function simple(name, date) {
  const searchSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(date);
  if (searchSheet !== null) {

    const names = searchSheet.getRange('B:B').getValues()
    const index = [];
    names.forEach(element => {
      if (element[0] === name) index.push(names.indexOf(element) + 1);
    });
    if (index.length > 1) return 'две строчки';
    if (index.length === 0) return;

    const all = searchSheet.getRange(index[0], 3, 1, 4).getValues();

    const timeCome = all[0][0];
    let timeEnd = all[0][1];
    const checkTime = all[0][2];
    const comment = all[0][3];

    if (timeEnd < timeCome) timeEnd.setDate(timeEnd.getDate() + 1);
    let countHours = (timeEnd - timeCome) / 1000 / 60 / 60;
    if (/обед/i.test(comment.toLowerCase())) countHours -= 1;


    if (countHours === checkTime) {
      return checkTime;
    } else {
      return 'ОШИБКА'
    }
  }
}

As you can see, the script is elementary, the problem is that I execute it in each cell XD. It turns out more than a thousand simultaneous executions. And then I see the following picture (wherever Error is - "Exceeded maximum excecution time").



As you can see, only a small part "freezes". the rest are working fine.

Please give advice on how to overcome this. Thank!

Rather than run it as a custom function, set up a regular clock trigger to run and process the whole sheet in one go.

Please tell us a little more! Do you mean to set up a trigger for example every 10 minutes?

I did it, there have already been several executions, the number of errors has not decreased.

I apologize that the screen is not in English, but I think everything is clear anyway :)
