# DefaultActionTimeout

The number of seconds that Coordinator waits for a scheduled action to complete before timing out the operation.

This parameter sets the default value for the schedule timeout. If you set `DefaultActionTimeout` to `-1` or do not set a value in Coordinator, Coordinator uses the default value in the Controller configurations.

You can override this default timeout for individual scheduled actions by using the `ScheduleActionTimeout` action parameter in the `AddSchedule` or `EditSchedule` action.

Type: | Integer
Default: | -1 (use the default value in the Controller)
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Scheduler
Example: | `DefaultActionTimeout=90`
