Supabase Connection Timeout - Auth or Database Requests Hang
Requests to Supabase hang indefinitely or timeout after 30 seconds. Login, signup, or database queries never complete.
The app connects fine locally but fails on deployment, or works initially then starts timing out under load.
Error Messages You Might See
Error: connection timeout after 30000ms
Fetch failed: timeout waiting for response
Error: Policy violation - permission denied
Common Causes
- Supabase URL or API key incorrect or not loaded from env
- Network firewall blocking Supabase API domain
- Session token expired and refresh failing silently
- Database query taking too long without timeout handling
- RLS (Row Level Security) policies blocking all queries
How to Fix It
Verify environment variables: console.log(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL)
Add timeout to Supabase client: const client = createClient(url, key, { realtime: { timeout: 10000 } })
Check RLS policies on tables - ensure logged-in users can actually select/insert
Use Supabase dashboard to test queries directly

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.
