Unfortunately it isn't that easy. Our cirrus CI jobs are launched using the cirrus-run tool, from a gitlab job. The timeouts we're usually hitting are from the gitlab job which is sitting around waiting for the cirrus job it launched to finish, so it can report back stats. Cirrus CI does itself have a job timeout, but I'm not aware of us hitting that typically, unless i'm misinterpreting something.
