Environment

Resolution

Upgrade the Build Timeout plugin to version 1.32 or newer.

Workaround

A problem was detected when the instance has Github plugin and Build Timeout plugin installed. The Build Timeout plugin is a Tier 3 plugin, so the main workaround is to disable the Build Timeout plugin which causes the issue.

Tested product/plugin versions

  • Cloudbees CI Controller 2.426.3.3

  • Github plugin 1.37.3.1

  • Build timeout plugin < 1.32
