Hi k.m., The limit should be the same for AdHoc reports, which the documentation reflects as three minutes. We haven't seen anyone run into this limit, however, so the behavior is not well-defined. If you run into this issue, we'd be interested in hearing about it and talking with the core engineers regarding the best way to approach it.
For now, we recommend you not worry about building any special logic to handle this type of failure until we've got more experience with this issue. - Kevin Winter AdWords API Team On Monday, January 23, 2012 6:45:20 PM UTC-5, k.m.public.01 wrote: > > Right, I never expected that a report request would hang indefinitely. > > The documentation for the Report DefinitionService (http:// > code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/guides/reporting.html#downloading) > states that "The request times out after three minutes".
