Workarounds

  1. 90% success Use the CircleCI API to approve the job manually: `curl -X POST -H "Circle-Token: $CIRCLE_TOKEN" https://circleci.com/api/v2/workflow/{workflow_id}/approve/{approval_request_id}`. Find the approval_request_id from the workflow's jobs via the API. 
    Use the CircleCI API to approve the job manually: `curl -X POST -H "Circle-Token: $CIRCLE_TOKEN" https://circleci.com/api/v2/workflow/{workflow_id}/approve/{approval_request_id}`. Find the approval_request_id from the workflow's jobs via the API.
  2. 80% success Modify the workflow configuration to remove the approval job for non-production branches, or use a conditional approval: `when: << pipeline.parameters.deploy_to_prod >>` where the parameter defaults to false for development branches.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Project settings do not control approval timeout; the timeout is fixed per plan (60 minutes for free/paid) and cannot be changed via settings.

  2. 85% fail

    Re-running does not bypass the approval step; the same approval job will be triggered again, and the timeout will recur if no one approves.
