Do server actions have a fixed lifetime?
I noticed when one of the pages on my site deployed on vercel which uses a number of server actions to fetch data, takes more than 10 secs to load, I run into that application client side error.

"client side error" could mean quite literally anything

My Use Case:
I'm working on analytics dashboard and I'm pulling in data from cube cloud to populate graphs and other data visualizations.
The Problem:
Some Cubejs queries take a while to be resolved in my case I had a cube query taking more than 20 seconds. There's nothing much I can do about the time it takes to pull in the data.
Reference:
According to the vercel's docs, serverless functions need to start sending down data within 25 seconds, failure to do so results in a timeout.

My Solution:
Since I had no control over how long cubejs took to resolve a query and send down the data, I decided to host my next app outside vercel. That way my serverless functions weren't timedout.
