# Set a Deadline on the `GetSchema`, `GetTopic`, and `Publish` Unary RPC Methods

Set a deadline of 10 minutes or less on the `GetSchema`, `GetTopic`, and `Publish` unary RPC methods so that you can retry a request that takes too long. When you set a deadline, a `DEADLINE_EXCEEDED` status code is returned if you don't receive a response within the allotted time.

Without a deadline, it is difficult for you to know if a request should be retried.

For more information and sample code, see [the gRPC deadlines documentation](https://grpc.io/docs/guides/deadlines/).
