Environment Details
When running a workflow that's connected to Amazon Athena and the following error occurs:
Error: Input Data (1): Error SQLExecute: [Simba][Athena] (1040) An error has been thrown from the AWS
Athena client. Athena Error No: 360406992, Error Message: Query timeout
The workflow runs for 30 minutes and then errors out.

- Alteryx Designer
- Amazon Athena
- Athena ODBC
Cause
The Athena 30-minute quota has been reached.
Resolution
Limit the number of rows to be returned within Alteryx, especially if a table contains millions of rows and/or is very wide. It's possible to use In-DB tools so that data is not moved to the local Designer machine for performance improvement.
