Yes, that's what I meant. I set it to 2 weeks.
Nevertheless - it has no chance to hit me any more, as I split my jobs.

No, common sense was a justification for - as described (see link below) -
*hardcoded* 6 days timeout. Google is your friend here:

From this I inderstand, that the 'feature' is still there, but now there is
(might be) an override option called 'Max Run Time'. OTOH - I have not checked
it, as my jobs are <6d now.
