_END

Timestamp of the latest possible end of the top-level script execution.

_END is a global variable that provides a timestamp, in milliseconds since the Unix epoch, of when the script execution is guaranteed to end due to a timeout. This number is effectively [[_START]] + [[_TIMEOUT]].

Syntax

_END;

Example

A script that wants to check how close it is to timing out can use _END instead of _START + _TIMEOUT or scripts.lib's [[can_continue_execution]]:

function(context, args) {
  // do stuff

  if(_END - Date.now() < 500){
    return "Less than 500ms left! Bailing!"
  }

  // do more stuff

  return "Script completed without timing out"
}
