It would be great win for resource usage if we allow max_time to be more, maybe dynamic. Currently we have a system with a 'low' max_time of 15 minutes to provide the system for interactive usage within 15 minutes. In the past this 'freeing up' a system only happens 3 or 4 times a month for 1 or two days. The system more or less idles most of the time. What if we would set up a 1hour step / 24h max_time - table like "from 8:00 to 17:00 only accept 15 minute jobs, after 17:00 longer jobs which have to be finished at 8:00 next day" ``` 07:00: 15 min 06:00 60 min 05:00 120 min 04:00 180 min 03:00 240 min 02:00 300 min 01:00 360 min 00:00 420 min 23:00 480 min 22:00 540 min 21:00 600 min 20:00 660 min 19:00 720 min 18:00 780 min 17:00 840 min ``` so for example a job with maxtime of 1hr submitted at 06:59 will run until 08:00. but as a win, after 17:00 jobs with 14 hr max_time will be accepted for at least 1 hour. Or put if in a formula, but a table with 24 entries might be more comfortable/flexible to edit.
