Timed out, test exceeded 10 seconds

Stuck on stage #OW9 but my code doesn’t seem ot be the problem.

When running tests with git the tests keep failing because of a timeout. I get the following logs everytime:

remote: [tester::#AH1] Test failed

I’ve tried running the faulty command locally and it works fine.
./your_bittorrent.sh decode lli4eei5ee returns [[4],5] as expected.

I tried measuring the performance of each tested command and none of them take more than ~50ms.

Any insight? My code behaves as expected but seems like the timeout delay for the tests is too short.

@charlesmatte Thanks for highlighting the issue! We’ve received similar reports, and have been looking into it. I’ll keep you updated once the issue is resolved.
