Problem
Why is there a discrepancy between the connection timeout limit specified in the agent properties for Reporting Server and the actual time that a job is executing before it is killed?
Solution
There is a timer interval that runs every 60 seconds to determine if a job has gone over the connection timeout limit. Depending on when that timer interval starts, you will see slightly different times that a job is allowed to run before it is killed if it hits the timeout limit. The interval kicks in every 60 seconds, so you should never see a disparity of more than 60 seconds between the value of the connection timeout limit and the time the job actually ran before it was killed.
