Page Size doesnt change anything

[StephaneSeguin]

Hello, I'm changing the Page size to limit the number of record by batch created.
We have more then 5000 records to update.

I'm getting a 2 min timeout error. Is the page size should overcome the 2 min timeout?

Also unable to use top =1000 in the fetch query because Page Size parameter is used.

No, changing the page size wouldn't be expected to resolve the issue. My recommendation is to split the data into multiple batches. For example, if you have a recurring process to execute on contacts, you could add an additional filter criterion for last names starting with a particular set of letters. You could then clone that recurring process to select contacts with last names starting with a different set of letters. This approach should let you work around the timeout problem.
