azure devops build pipeline reduce the timeout to 30 minutes

Question

Is there a way to change the timeout for build pipeline, currently the pipeline time's out after 60 mintues. I want to reduce it to 30 minutes.

I looked at all the organization settings and project settings, but not able to find anything on the UI

Or else can it be set from YAML?

Answer 1

For a YAML pipeline the documentation says you can write

jobs:
- job: Test
  timeoutInMinutes: 10 # how long to run the job before automatically cancelling
  cancelTimeoutInMinutes: 2 # how much time to give 'run always even if cancelled tasks' before stopping them

timeoutInMinutes: 0 should also work for individual tasks, and 0 means max value (infinite for self-hosted agents).
