Wrap the logic with Timeout::timeout and disable retries if you don't want the job to be retried after a timeout.

class RunsTooLongWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  sidekiq_options :retry => false

  def perform(*args)
    Timeout::timeout(2.hours) do
      # do possibly long running task
    end
  end
end

You might have to rescue `Timeout::Error`. – nishu Aug 18 '14 at 04:18

It depends on whether you want the jobs to fail with `Timeout::Error` errors and whether you need to clean anything up before exiting. – infused Aug 18 '14 at 04:20

Use Ruby's timeout library to raise an error if it takes too long.

Why do you think I would recommend it in one thing and recommend against it in another? Because "it depends" is really the answer and we don't have enough context to judge either way. – Mike Perham Jun 02 '20 at 18:51
