Is the issue that the error in the time made it shorter than the time the job had already run, so it killed it immediately?<br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">No, not a bug, I would say. When the time limit is reached, that's it, job dies. I wouldn't be aware of a way to manage that. Once the time limit is reached, it wouldn't be a hard limit if you then had to notify the user and then...
what? How long would you give them to extend the time? Wouldn't be much of a limit if a job can be extended, plus that would throw off the scheduler/estimator. I'd chalk it up to an unfortunate typo.
