Hi,
If plugin executes more than 2 minutes it will give timeout exception. Because of the maximum time for plugin is 2min.
Instead of plugin you can write Custom workflow. After Rollup12 installation, custom workflow also support for online crm.
Thanks,

There is no way to increase this limit in Crm Online. I can't see any technical reason why you couldn't use a workflow, and this seems like your best option

Hi Anwar,
I think you are using queryexpression for retrieving records. Instead of queryexpression try with FetchXml Response. FetchXml response is faster than queryexpression.
Thanks,

There's very little performance difference between QueryExpression and FetchXml, so I doubt this would make a difference. I expect most of the time is taken by the calls to the external system.
I think you only solution would be to make fewer calls to the external system within the plugin / workflow activity, which probably means you'd have to create a way to only send a few records at a time, and, if there are remaing records to be sent, invoke a change that would cause the workflow activity to fire again
