If a task takes longer than this to run, it is then visible in the "SLA Misses" part of the user interface, as well as going out in an email of all tasks that missed their SLA. Tasks over their SLA are not cancelled, though - they are allowed to run to completion. If you want to cancel a task after a certain runtime is reached, you want :ref:`concepts:timeouts` instead.
