This issue generally occurs when php script takes more time for execution than set in php.ini file

You can resolve this issue by using two methods:

Method 1: Editing .htaccess File Manually

Put php_value max_execution_time 600 in .htaccess file 600 is the value of execution time in seconds, you can use yours value, the maximum value is better.

Method 2: You can use https://wordpress/plugins/wp-maximum-execution-time-exceeded/ plugin to maximise the execution tome

Increase the maximum execution time of PHP.

You can do that on php.ini, on .htaccess or probably you can do it in the wp-config.php file.
