+Note: Next.js has a default static generation timeout of 60 seconds. If no new pages complete generating within the timeout, it will attempt generation three more times. If the fourth attempt fails, the build will fail. This timeout can be modified using the following configuration:
+
+```js
+// next.config.js
+module.exports = {
+  // time in seconds of no pages generating during static
+  // generation before timing out
+  staticPageGenerationTimeout: 90,
