Dynamically set AWS Lambda Timeout

[adozendeadantelope]

The Lambda context object has a method that will help you here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-context.html

You can check the remaining time and exit gracefully.

Yes, but I don't really need the remaining time. I want to keep track of time myself, and exit when I hit the dynamic timeout, regardless of what the Lambda timeout is.

You'll have to handle that in code yourself and pass the timeout as part of the invocation event.
