According to our [documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/12.9/ee/ci/yaml/README.html#setting-default-parameters) we can set the `timeout` parameter under the `default` section. However upon testing, it seems that the `timeout` parameter in the default section is not being used. Defining the `timeout` parameter in the job section works properly. ### Example Project 1. https://gitlab.com/dm3ch/test-ci - This project defines the `timeout` in the `default` section. - However, based on the job, it is not used: https://gitlab.com/dm3ch/test-ci/-/jobs/499926273 1. https://gitlab.com/jdasmarinas/test-ci - This project defines the `timeout` in the job. - Timeout was set properly: https://gitlab.com/jdasmarinas/test-ci/-/jobs/501171003 ### What is the current *bug* behavior? Timeout defined in the `default` section is not being used. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? Timeout defined in the `default` section should be used.
