Limiting total time (part) of an AppVeyor job / a program in an AppVeyor job

A AppVeyor, Windows, job will last a maximum of 1 hour, this is fine, but I'm facing the problem that my program goes into an endless loop and will consume the full hour although the program should terminate within 1 minute. For finding the problem this is quite inconvenient and a wast of time and resources.

Is there a setting to limit the total job time or a way to limit the time of an individual command?

Right now you can manage time limits for private build cloud, but not for builds hosted on AppVeyor VMs.

We will expose this for builds hosted on AppVeyor VMs too, but setting it bigger that limit set by AppVeyor will not work. Your case (make is shorter) will work. Watch this GitHub issue for resolution.

Right now we can set it for you, per request, but this will be account-level change, so it will affect all projects under your account.
