GAE tasks that runs for one hour?

When configuring my tasks following the guide of Google App Engine, I read that it was possible to have some tasks runs for more than 10 minutes (the default limit) and go to one hour, by using a manual or basic scaling module.

I tried to configure it this way (with the following yaml configurations) but my tasks are always killed after 10 minutes, not 1 hour.

What I am doing wrong?

queue.yaml :

queue:
 - name: long_process
   max_concurrent_requests: 10
   rate: 1/s

... (other tasks)

long_process_queue_module.yaml:

module: long-process-queue-module
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
version: 1
threadsafe: true

instance_class: B1
manual_scaling:
  instances: 5

handlers:
- url: /_ah/queue/myhandler
  script: wsgi.application
  login: admin

What is wrong ? How can I set the duration to 1 hour?

In case it's important, I'd also like to be able to run this tasks more than one at once. I currently set instances: 5 suspecting it would run 5 long-process concurrently, but maybe I'm wrong here too?

You need to define the task to be run in the long-process-queue-module, you can specify the target field in the queue.yaml, or when you enqueue a task. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/queue#target https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/taskqueue/tasks#task_target
