Hey ​@Juan 👋

Sorry to hear that you’re running into that error with the Gemini 3 model selected. As the error message you’re seeing doesn’t match the one that’s being discussed in the other topic it could be that you’re running into a different bug 🤔 So I’ve moved your comment out onto a new topic so we can discuss it separately.

Can I just check, was this action working previously? If so, have there been any changes to the setup/prompting recently that might be related?

If it wasn’t, can you share some screenshots of the setup of that action (with any sensitive/personal info removed)? That’ll help us to determine whether there’s anything on the settings/prompting for that action might need adjusting to get it to respond quicker.

And can you try replaying that errored Zap run to see if it still times out? 🙏
