GitLab CI Pipeline Stage Timeout

Question

You can set a global timeout in “Project settings -> CI/CD Pipelines -> Timeout” or “Project settings -> Builds -> Timeout” in older versions.

As of version 12.3, you can set a timeout per stage in your CI .yml file using timeout:

timeout allows you to configure a timeout for a specific job. For example:

build:
  script: build.sh
  timeout: 3 hours 30 minutes

test:
  script: rspec
  timeout: 3h 30m

The job-level timeout can exceed the project-level timeout but can’t exceed the Runner-specific timeout.
