GraphQL Mutation Error: Timeout but Still Updates Products - Where does it stop?

I am load testing updating available quantities per location using the new InventorySetOnHandQuantities for the 2023-01 API Release.

Keep getting this response every so often because of the large data loads:

{"errors":[{"message":"Timeout","extensions":{"code":"TIMEOUT"}}]}

Example of large data load:

{mutation ( $input1: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input2: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input3: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input4: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input5: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input6: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input7: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input8: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input9: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input10: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input11: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input12: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input13: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input14: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input15: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input16: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input17: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input18: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input19: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input20: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input21: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input22: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input23: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input24: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input25: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input26: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input27: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input28: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input29: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input30: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input31: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input32: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input33: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input34: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input35: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input36: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input37: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input38: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input39: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input40: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input41: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input42: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input43: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input44: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input45: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input46: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input47: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input48: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input49: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			$input50: InventorySetOnHandQuantitiesInput!
			...
			){  mutation1: inventorySetOnHandQuantities(input: $input1) {
				inventoryAdjustmentGroup {
				  id
				  reason
				}
				userErrors {
				  field
				  message
				}
			}
			    mutation2: inventorySetOnHandQuantities(input: $input2) {
				inventoryAdjustmentGroup {
				  id
				  reason
				}
				userErrors {
				  field
				  message
				}
			 }
			 .....

Each variable set contains 250 in each:

{
  "input1": {
    "reason": "restock",
    "setQuantities": [
      {
        "inventoryItemId": "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/42668819644464",
        "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/63640764464",
        "quantity": 999
      },
      {
        "inventoryItemId": "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/42668819644464",
        "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/63640797232",
        "quantity": 999
      },
      {
        "inventoryItemId": "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/42668819644464",
        "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/63628902448",
        "quantity": 999
      },
...
]
},
"input2": {
    "reason": "restock",
    "setQuantities": [
      {
        "inventoryItemId": "gid://shopify/InventoryItem/42668819644464",
        "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/123456789",
        "quantity": 999
      },
...

When I get the Timeout error I check the inventory of products and it it still updated some of the products inventories.

  1. How do I know which products got updated or where does it stop?

  2. How do I account for the Timeout error?

  • I have sent 40 mutations and it worked, the next time I did it, I got the Timeout Error. So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t?

  • Clearly I would just send only a certain amount of mutations at a time, but how can I figure that out?
