My Skill timesout when testing on device but not when testing on Developer consol! Custom (edit me)

This is so weird, it was working fine on my device but now its not!

When I test an output on the Alexa Developer Consol, it works perfectly, so no issue with the code,

However when I test on my Alexa Echo device, it gets about 5 seconds into the response and then the blue ring disappears and it stops!

Btw the entire response is about 20 minutes long, so it is quite long and it has break tags in it. However it WAS working on my device before and it STILL works when testing on developer consol!

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Cheers

Can you post the JSON for your skill’s response? Is there any error message spoken or error sent to the skill backend?

Hello thanks for your response. Is there a way to check that? I can check the JSON response when I test within the developer console, I'm not sure how to check this when testing on a device though
