jobs.<job_id>.timeout-minutes

Use jobs.<job_id>.timeout-minutes to set the maximum number of minutes to run a job before CloudBees automatically cancels the job.

Table 1. Summary of configurable and non-configurable timeouts
Description	Type	Duration	User-configurable
Workflow	Maximum	72 hours
Job	Maximum	3 hours
Job	Default	1 hour
Approval	Maximum	48 hours

The maximum timeout for a workflow run, including completing all jobs and manual approvals, is 72 hours, and is not configurable. Therefore, the user-configured maximum number of minutes to run a job must not exceed 72 hours.

Users can configure the default job timeout to be anything less than the maximum (3 hours).

The cloudbees.scm.token is issued when the workflow is scheduled, and some SCM systems limit the token validity to 1 hour. For this reason, CloudBees strongly recommends using CloudBees action: Configure Git global credentials to request a live token.
