Seems like this was already discussed

Thanks for posting. We have now analysed it more deeply.
The problem is that with an empty cell, we still render an empty tag (<v></v>) to the Office XML, which prevents the overflow from the previous cell.

We will fix this here

I apologize for the delay. I had to make sure Azure broke things really badly...

Unfortunately, Azure changed the libraries installed in the Azure Functions runtime. This affected Chromium, which currently doesn't work there. The only option is to use Docker or a premium plan and install the missing libs.

However, the better option is now to use Azure Container Apps. This lets you serverless host jsreport in a container with no missing lib issues.
I've updated docs and added this tutorial on how to get started with running jsreport in the Azure Container App.

Please share a minimal playground demo replicating the issue.

One credit is 1 second spent in the container that is processing your request. It is calculated based on milliseconds.
It is replanishing based on your renewal date. Check the "created on" field in the settings of your profile.
The studio browser requests are free of charge so you are free to play with your worskspace as much as needed.

Will we see a significant performance increase when we switch to the paid version?

No, the containers are the same.

Could this timeout be related to the jsreport.npm.require?

Yes, this signals that the npm install of the module timed out.
This can be some kind of transient network/npm error.
It seems to work fine for me also in your account, please try later again.

Ah, sorry, I missed that this is related to jsreportonline. The config updates are not possible in jsreportonline, unfortunately.

The problem is the time it takes to require the mssql module? These calls take typically just some milliseconds. The jsreport.npm.require will need to install module for the first time what may take some seconds, but the following require should be fast enough.

I think it won't help.

What could decrease the cost of the require call is adding config

{
  "sandbox": { "isolateModules": false }
}

@apanin-locusview It is in the backlog, but with a lower priority than other things we are currently working on.

What exact errors or problems do you encounter? Please elaborate...
You should be able to install mssl npm package using jsreport npm extension also in jsreportonline

Note the jsreport should also work in the Azure App Service
