How to run a Google Cloud Function with a timeout of 60 min from a Google Cloud Task?

So I have an HTTPS cloud function that has a timeout of 60 minutes.

import { onRequest } from "firebase-functions/v2/https";

export const myFunction = onRequest(
    {
        timeoutSeconds: 3600,
        memory: "4GiB",
        maxInstances: 1,
        region: "europe-north1",
    },
    async (req, res) => {
        //code that takes up to 60 minutes
    });

I want to call this function from a cloud task, but apparently, the maximum timeout for a cloud task is 30 minutes.

    import * as tasks from "@google-cloud/tasks";

    const task: tasks.protos.google.cloud.tasks.v2.ITask = {
        httpRequest: {
            httpMethod: 'POST',
            url,
            body: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(payload)).toString('base64'),
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
        },
        dispatchDeadline: , //<-- this is 30 minutes as far as I understood
        scheduleTime: {
            seconds: 50
        }

Is there a workaround for that?

I wouldn't mind just executing the call without waiting for the response of the cloud function (without waiting for 60 minutes).

But I don't know if that's possible.

You can set a retry configuration for your tasks, and make your Cloud Function invocations idempotent (i.e. if a retry comes, but it's for a request that is already processing, don't process it again). Here is a blog post regarding idempotency in Cloud Functions.
