Can the OpenSCAD customizer timeout be increased?

I’ve created some OpenSCAD code for running on MakerWorld that loads an STL file and intersects it with some geometry that will be exported into a 3MF file. When running locally on my computer, if I load a complex STL in OpenSCAD, it can take 5 or 10 seconds to process but it completes with no problem. On MakerWorld, if it takes over 3 seconds it quits with the error message “Sorry, it seems that the server is experiencing some issues. Please try again later.” I’m not actually sure if the server is timing out or using too much memory for the reason it gives up.

If the STL file is simple to where the size is roughly less than 500K, the error doesn’t occur. If I simplify the STL with BambuStudio, before running it through the OpenSCAD code, it also runs fine.

I’ve already optimized the OpenSCAD code significantly but I don’t think I can optimize it any further. Are there any “tricks” other than limiting it to simple models or simplified models to get more processing time out of MakerWorld before it gives up?
