Even though your frontend uses automatic scaling, the work is being done on the B8 instance that is responsible for running your API service.
Based on the screenshot that you attached, the B8 instance has to return in 24 hours. This is due to the fact that the B8 instance is only capable of Manual and Basic scaling[0]. Can it be safe to assume that you are using a Legacy Runtime as that is where the limit of 1 minute is enforced. As an alternative, you can try routing with URLs[1] or look into implementing the use of Task Queues as that has a timeout of 10 minutes.
