Alexa Skills Set SDK - increase timeout of skill
I am building an Alexa instructional exercise skill using the Alexa Skill Set SDK on nodejs. I am saving each cooking step to the DB, therefore if the skill times out, the user can reopen the skill and continue where they left off. Problem is that users are annoyed that they have to keeping reopening the skill, people work at different speeds, is it possible to keep the skill open or increase the time out whilst I wait for the user to complete the step and then say "Alexa, next step"? I tried increasing the lambda timeout, it made no difference. I have been trying to do this for quite awhile.
