Long Running Process

I have a process that takes a little over 40 minutes to complete and have it running once a day using node-cron. I think there is a 300 second timeout for railway, is there any way around this so I can host the cron server on railway?

It is possible to set up a process in which the project redeploys by itself, say ever hour, using a package like node-cron. Next year, there is an aim to launch scale-to-zero jobs so it will take truly zero resources.
