Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not seeing any effect from adding that argument. I set:

debci_autopkgtest_args="--timeout-test 28800"

then rebooted Lyra and queued a rocfft test, but it still failed after 5 hours. I followed up by changing it to:

debci_autopkgtest_args="--timeout-test 60"

and then restarted the debci-worker service and queued a new job, but the tests were still going after ten minutes.

Sincerely,
