Isochrones limitations

OlivierV

Hello,

I tried to use Isochrones (geo-router plugin) to scout for potential customers around our sites, but it looks isochrones are limited.

I ideally woudl have like to get isochrones of 3 hours aorund our sites, but already if i set 1h, I don't get any result.

For isochrones of 45 mins, they get calculated within 15 mins. I can see the requests to the geo-router server in the logs:

[07:58:13] [INFO] [dku.utils]  - [2025-07-02 07:58:13,046] [62/ThreadPoolExecutor-0_0] [DEBUG] [urllib3.connectionpool] https://geo-router.emea1.api-services.dataiku.io:443 "GET /isochrone?point=XX.66113266%2CXX.543641163&time_limit=2700&profile=car HTTP/1.1" 200 None 

But if I ask 60 mins or longer, I don't see any request being sent to to the geo-router server, only contrainer information popping up every minute, and the task never ends (I let it run for more than 24 hours)

So, I am wondering if there is an official limitation to the Isochrones or is it just the geo-router server timing out before the reply can be computed ?

When dealing with logisitics, 45 mins isochrones woudl be awfully short.

Thanks for your input

As per the documentation around isochrones this plugin is "not unsupported". Having said that it is Python plugin so you can easily see what the plugin does or even take the code from the plugin and call it directly in a Python recipe / Jupiter Notebook to debug it.
