@@ -10,6 +10,10 @@ All notable changes to the **Prowler API** are documented in this file.
 - Provider filters for `GET /api/v1/compliance-overviews`, `/metadata`, and `/requirements`, using latest completed scans per matching provider [(#11587)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11587)
 - Server-Sent Events (SSE) infrastructure for the API: a base viewset, a tenant-aware channel manager, and channel-name helpers backed by `django-eventstream` over Valkey Pub/Sub and served through the Gunicorn ASGI worker, so feature endpoints can stream events to clients over a single long-lived connection [(#11556)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11556)
 
+### 🔄 Changed
+
+- Gunicorn worker timeout raised from the 30s default to 120s, so long-running requests are no longer killed prematurely [(#11631)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11631)
+
 ### 🔐 Security
 
 - `aiohttp` to 3.14.0 and `idna` to 3.15, patching known CVEs [(#11596)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11596)
