Query timeout when using Athena with Amazon QuickSight
If your query times out, you can try these options to resolve your problem.
If the failure was generated while working on an analysis, remember that the Amazon QuickSight timeout for generating any visual is two minutes. If you're using a custom SQL query, you can simplify your query to optimize running time.
If you are in direct query mode (not using SPICE), you can try importing your data to SPICE. However, if your query exceeds the Athena 30-minute timeout, you might get another timeout while importing data into SPICE. For the most current information on Athena limits, see Amazon Athena Limits in the AWS General Reference.
