Heroku Job Delay

Question

I have a Rails application hosted on Heroku that needs to import data weekly. The task is performed by administrators and takes about 1-2 minutes to run (calculation time). On Heroku, quests that take 30 seconds to complete . Heroku recommends priority work - however, paying $ 36.00 per month (price per employee) for 8 minutes of calculation time does not seem to work. A few questions:

• Is it possible to pay only deferred tasks when they are used (i.e., the task service starts with a delay only when administrators load the data import).
• Is delayed work required? I am not sure if the timeout is simply displayed to the client or if the actual work is canceled. The documentation has a “don't take any action” list as an option, but I'm not sure what the consequences of this are.

Thank!

After testing, it turned out that the timeout does not prevent the completion of long tasks (only the results are displayed to the user). Ended email notification and timeout permission. I looked at the thread request, but the support in Rails seems fluffy.
