I was checking the cron logs on my Moodle 3.9.13+ site and I came across the messages below saying that the cron processing was stopped because the "time limit has been reached" :
Execute scheduled task: Remove unused random questions (qtype_random\task\remove_unused_questions)
... started 01:20:33. Current memory use 21.5MB.
Cleaned up 10000 unused random questions.
... used 646370 dbqueries

Scheduled task complete: Remove unused random questions (qtype_random\task\remove_unused_questions)
Stopping processing of scheduled tasks as time limit has been reached.
Stopping processing of adhoc tasks as time limit has been reached.
Ran 0 adhoc tasks found at Wed, 13 Jul 2022 01:20:01 +0200
Cron script completed correctly
Cron completed at 02:16:10. Memory used 25.4MB.
Execution took 3369.693501 seconds
What time limits is this referring to? And where do I check what those time limits are?
And 3369.693501 seconds = approximately 56 minutes. Is it normal for for a cron script to run for so long?
