aborting the build not working

[Hector Magnanao]

I'm trying to use the abort build if it's stuck option in the build section of my Jenkins job.  I set the 'Time out Strategy' to 'Absolute' and I set the timeout option to 5 minutes for a job that I know takes more than 5 minutes.  And I set the action to Abort the Build.  And my job goes past 5 minutes and it doesn't abort.  Can you tell me what I could be doing wrong ?

I'm using Jenkins 1.625.2 on Windows

The build timeout plugin only looks at the time taken by the "Build Steps". So if it takes 3 minutes to check out code from your repository, that would not be included. Or if it takes 10 minutes to archive the artifacts, that's not counted either because it's post-build. The timestamps plugin can help you see where the time is spent during the build.
