"The operation has timed out" error on bulk order creation

[AbleBody]

Hi Logan,
We are running a scheduled task at backend that creates a set of orders in bulk each day based on internal criteria...

I am seeing several "The operation has timed out" errors when running this... the process goes for around 3-4 hrs and the orders that encounter this error are skipped. But not sure why this is happening as the trapped message is just that "The operation has timed out".... typically we would see about 10 or 15 orders out of a total of 3000+ orders.. the errors are within a few seconds of each other, but spread across the hrs.

We are using all of AbleCommerce API calls to generate the order.

Could this because of Maintenance windows running at that point and hogging the database?

Their version is
PLATFORM: ASP.NET
VERSION: 7.1
BUILD: 10875

Pl. advise as this is critical to the full automation of this process.

Thanks!
