 * I have a client with 32 custom thumbnail sizes, we use REST API to create and
   update product information.
    Is there a method to exclude custom thumbnail sizes
   or a subset of sizes as clearly we wont want 32 size variations of the product
   images. besides max execution times out, currently set to 600 (5 mins) and if
   a product 2 or 3 images the count gets into the thousands. We obviously don’t
   want to extend that already generous timeout. I’ve searched but cant see a method
   to exclude thumbnails from REST.

 * Hey [@csyecommerce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/csyecommerce/),
 * That’s a lot of thumbnail sizes! For development oriented questions like this,
   I suggest asking them on either Slack or Facebook.
    - WooCommerce Slack Community: [https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/](https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/)
    - WooCommerce Community group on Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/)
 * I’ll leave this open here for a while to see if anyone has advice but I think
   moving this to Slack would be your best bet.
 * Cheers
