Azure webjob max execution time or Blob queue max lock retry

In my project i have Webjob which is triggered by queue. Its sending newsletter and its time consuming i can say exactly how long it takes but more than 10 minutes.

Logic to update release lock every 25 seconds 

queue.UpdateMessage(data, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60.0), MessageUpdateFields.Visibility);

Everything works as expected till today when it just failed with message Never Finished 57 minutes ago and i see that same message was queued 3 times.

I've added logging to see why, but it will take probably few days till next newsletter. So maybe somebody know about recent changes or limits?

Azure webjob max execution time

As far as I know, azure web job doesn't have the max execution time.

Here is a test, the webjob execute 30 minutes.

Blob queue max lock retry

I couldn't understand why you release lock of the queue message which the web job method currently used.

If a web job is triggered by one queue message, it will be invisible until the method fail or complete.

Azure web job SDK will call a function up to 5 times to process a queue message. If the fifth try fails, the message is moved to a poison queue.

The poison queue name is {originalqueuename}-poison.

About how to set the maximum number of retries, you could refer to this article.
