How to Increase build vnext build agent execution time?

Question

I am running a large suite of tests on my build server and it takes longer than an hour to get through them all. It is currently failing after an hour stating this:

The job running on agent xAgentNamex has exceeded the maximum execution time of 01:00:00.

I thought it would be in the User capabilities settings for the build agent but I could not see anything there.

How can I increase this limit?

It is under the settings of your build definition: General->Build job timeout in minutes.

I know this is old, but I love when someone takes a screen shot. So much easier with visual stuff. – JLane Mar 28 '16 at 16:23

In VSTS and TFS 2017+ this settings is found in the Options tab (the General tab does not exist anymore). – Giulio Vian Jan 27 '18 at 15:56
