cap_wall

What happened#

A script runs with a limit on the elapsed time it may use. When it goes over, the sandbox stops it and answers with this code. detail names the cap that tripped (wall_ms), how much the script used and how much was allowed. The caps differ for a chart and for a run, and the code sandbox section of the Limits page lists them.

What to do#

Do less work per call, and check that the script does not wait on anything. Time spent waiting counts here even when the CPU is idle.
