PHP max execution time not having an effect in Forge

Hi everyone,

I've adjusted the max execution time setting within Laravel Forge to support certain potentially-long requests. After restarting the server my requests still end almost exactly at 30 seconds every time. Is there anything else that I should be doing to adjust this value?

Thanks all!

Are requests going through a proxy that has its own timeout, like CloudFlare or similar?

They are not, interestingly. A fairly vanilla Laravel setup with no relevant configuration changes on Forge other than changing that setting.

When I emailed Forge's support about it, they said:

It's either the script itself has a max execution time or the site is using a different PHP installation other than the one Forge installs.

I don't think either of those are the case, so I'm kind of stuck for now. Any other thoughts or places to look are appreciated! :)
