Hi @tallyhoJericho I am unable to reproduce this issue given that the instance creation does occur in under 2 minutes, which is before the timeout. Unfortunately build times do vary at times so the results of the examples may vary a little. If you are running into this issue often I would recommend bumping the timeout window via the state_timeout
configuration argument.
I'm going to label this as a docs enhancement issue, as I think we could provide some guidance for users who are experiencing timeouts due to the state not be set to running in time. If interested I would be more than happy to review a PR if you wanted to open a documentation pull-request. Cheers!

Packer build timing out still after a lot of effort.
A paragraph or two about the issue you're experiencing.
Trying to create a custom image in GCP. Times out every time. Spent hours trying to find the problem. Ended up being reduced down to the simple example in the documentation. Found here: https://www.packer.io/plugins/builders/googlecompute Still timing out. Cheers
