    Hi , SabineOussi 

    The default command timeout is 10 minutes.

    For more details , please refer to this article about  Power Query M formula language :

    According to  you description, you can try to change the command timeout in Advanced options of  Data source settings directly.

    I always try changing the command timeout duration in the query where you noted, but it seems that this never works, it stil defaults to the 10 minute default timeout duration....anyone with the same issue?
