Timeout = 60, Crawler duration = forever (aborted at 36 minutes)

Here is a screenshot of input showing specified timeout of 60 seconds. This process kept running until I aborted it 36 minutes later. It cost almost $1 to run and would have continued if I had not checked on it.

How can I set input (or an account configuration) to absolutely ensure that the will try for up to 60 seconds and then abort itself (give up) if it is unable to complete in that timeframe?

Hello @Lovgren and thank you for your interest in this Actor!

The Run-wide timeout can be set under the Run options (at the very bottom; see the screenshot). It works exactly as you described, i.e. once this timeout runs out, the Platform just aborts the Actor.

I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions, if you have any. Cheers!
