agent stripe webhook handler timed out after 10s: stripe disabled the endpoint
Recovers a Stripe webhook endpoint disabled after the handler timed out past ten seconds. Shows an agent how to re-enable the endpoint, verify the signing value, rewrite the handler to acknowledge fast and process async, and replay missed events. Use for timeout-disabled endpoints and slow inline handlers. Do not use for signature mismatches or events that arrive but are ignored by routing bugs.
agent stripe webhook handler timed out after 10s: stripe disabled the endpoint
TL;DR: your handler took longer than ten seconds, Stripe counted it as a failure, and after enough failures it disabled the endpoint. Re-enable it in the dashboard, then fix the handler to acknowledge fast and process async: return 200 immediately and do the real work in a queue. Webhook handlers must never do slow work inline.
agent stripe webhook handler timed out after 10s: stripe disabled the endpoint- Open the Stripe dashboard webhook settings and confirm the endpoint shows as disabled. Expected: the status reads disabled with a failure history.
- Re-enable the endpoint. Expected: status flips back to enabled.
- Verify the endpoint's signing value still matches what your code expects; rotate it if there is any doubt. Expected: a test event verifies cleanly.
- Rewrite the handler: validate the signature, enqueue the event, return 200, and process the queue in a worker. Expected: response times drop under one second.
- Backfill any events missed while disabled by replaying them from the dashboard event log. Expected: your system state catches up with no gaps.
When this applies:
- Handlers doing database writes, API calls, or email sends inline
- Timeouts after deploys that slowed the app
- Endpoints disabled after repeated failures
When it doesn't:
- Signature verification failures (key mismatch, not a timeout)
- Events arriving but ignored (routing bug in your code)

Stripe webhook endpoint disabled after timeouts
Re-enable, then fix the handler; re-enabling alone just starts the countdown again.
webhook handler timeout 10 seconds Stripe
Ten seconds is the limit; acknowledge fast and process async.
Stripe disabled my webhook endpoint, how to re-enable
Dashboard webhook settings, flip it back on, then replay missed events.
Why it happens: Stripe waits about ten seconds for a 2xx response, then retries with backoff for days. Endpoints that keep timing out get disabled to protect Stripe's delivery infrastructure. Slow handlers usually grew a database call or a third-party API inside the request path.
Edge cases: cold starts on serverless can push a healthy handler over ten seconds; keep functions warm or move work to the queue. Returning 200 before signature verification is a security hole; verify first, then enqueue, then respond. The dashboard shows per-endpoint latency graphs; watch them after every deploy.
