# Pipelines close to expiry

Use the Pipeline Execution dashboard to find pipeline executions that are close to timing out across your account.

Harness calculates a timeout expiry time for every pipeline execution, based on the execution start time and the pipeline's configured timeout duration. The Pipeline Execution dashboard gives you account-level visibility into executions that are in a pending or approval-waiting state and are close to timing out, across every project and organization.

## What you will learn from this topic

* How to find the [`WAITING` pipeline executions closest to expiry](#top-waiting-pipelines-closest-to-expiry), account-wide.
* How to see [`WAITING` executions expiring by project](#waiting-pipelines-expiring-by-project), grouped into 1-hour, 6-hour, and 24-hour windows.

## Before you begin

* You must have View permission for Dashboards to access the Pipeline Execution dashboard.
* Only executions with a configured pipeline timeout are shown in these widgets.

## Pipeline expiry dashboard

Go to **Dashboards** in the Harness UI, and open the **Pipeline Execution** dashboard. It includes the following widgets for tracking pipelines close to expiry.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both widgets are read-only. You cannot take action on an execution directly from the dashboard.
{% endhint %}

### Top Waiting Pipelines Closest to Expiry

Lists the 500 executions in a `WAITING` state with a configured timeout that are closest to expiry, account-wide, sorted from soonest to latest.

Each row shows the organization ID, project ID, pipeline ID, execution ID, and the time remaining until expiry.

### WAITING Pipelines Expiring by Project

Shows a bar for each project, with one segment for each of three expiry windows: **Expiring 1h** (expiring within the next hour), **Expiring 6h** (expiring in more than 1 hour but within 6 hours), and **Expiring 24h** (expiring in more than 6 hours but within 24 hours).

Hover over a bar to see the count of `WAITING` executions in each of the three windows for that project.

## Next steps

* Go to [View and compare pipeline executions](/harness-platform/use-harness-platform/pipelines/executions-and-logs/view-and-compare-pipeline-executions.md) to view the Pipeline Timeout column for a single project.
* Go to [Timeout settings](/harness-platform/use-harness-platform/pipelines/failure-handling/timeout-settings.md) to configure a pipeline, stage, or step timeout.
