[OSM-dev] Overpass request timeout : why?

[François Lacombe]

Hi all,

This apparently simple request often fails with timeout but I don't know
why.

area["wikidata"="Q212429"]["admin_level"="3"]->.france;  (node
(area.france)
["power"="generator"]["generator:source"]["generator:method"]["generator:output:electricity"];
way (area.france)
["power"="generator"]["generator:source"]["generator:method"]["generator:output:electricity"]);
out body;

This one looks similar but always gives result.

area["wikidata"="Q212429"]["admin_level"="3"]->.france;  (node
(area.france) ["power"~"pole|tower|portal"]  ["switch"] ["operator"="RTE"];
node (area.france) ["power"~"pole|tower|portal"]  ["power:switch"]
["operator"="RTE"]; node (area.france) ["power"="switch"]
["operator"="RTE"]); out body;

Does someone can explain what is the problem with the first one please?

All the best

François
