The Twilio webhook timeout is 15 seconds and it can't be changed.

Web applications that take 20+ seconds to respond to incoming requests are not recommended in general. They ties up processes and resources on your server and may lead to other requests being dropped.

I would recommend you do whatever work that takes more than 20 seconds in a background worker outside of the main web process. You can then respond to the webhook quickly, with an empty response and then use the REST API to send your reply message once the work is done.
