It depends a little bit on what model we are running, but here is an
example:

Submitting, Staging, other "quick" states - 10 minutes
Pending (sitting the the remote queue) - 30 minutes
Running - 2x the expected runtime

These are all handled on the local side. We set the wallclock time in
the  RSL as well, but that is for giving the sites a better shot at job
scheduling, not for job failure detection/recovery.
