by a project that has jobs with a long timeout (for example, one week).
When not configured, runners do not override the project timeout.
On GitLab.com, you cannot override the job timeout for shared runners and must use the [project defined timeout](../pipelines/settings.md#set-a-limit-for-how-long-jobs-can-run).
