This is correct.  There is no default in the AP for all jobs, but you can use a JOB_TRANSFORM in the AP to set one of these attributes for jobs as they are submitted.

I think you're looking for allowed_execute_duration or allowed_job_duration, see the reference here: https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man-pages/condor_submit.html

I think the main difference between them is that if a job exceeds its allowed_execute_duration then it goes into hold and it can't be put back into a run state, whereas allowed_job_duration resets when the job leaves the running state. So I guess job_duration would be better because if you have a job that it legitimately taking a long time and not just spinning, you could kick it and let it keep going. But I'm not sure as I'm only just learning these commands so I don't have practical experience with them yet.

Hello All,

Is there a htcondor config default value (system side, not specified by users in their jobscript) for the maximum time a job is allowed to run ?
