The out-of-the-box variable is JobStart, but thatâs a time stamp of when the job began, not a duration of how long itâs been running.

Jaime, isn't there an out-of-the-box variable for this?

You can use the _expression_ that $(ActivationTimer) expands to:

Is there an alternate token that can be used in place of ActivationTimer that will allow us to check if a job has been running for at least 4 hours before considering preemption (among other checks)?
