The timeout attribute defines the number of seconds Cloud Foundry allocates for starting your application.

For example:

---
  ...
  timeout: 80

You can increase the timeout length for very large apps that require more time to start. The default timeout is 60 seconds with an upper bound of 180 seconds.

Note: Administrators can set the upper bound of the maximum_health_check_timeout property to any value. Any changes to Cloud Controller properties in the deployment manifest require running bosh deploy.

The command line option that overrides the timeout attribute for the shell is -t. Manifest values still apply to applications pushed to the deployment.
