I’m in dbt Cloud and my model gets a timeout error after 300seconds. SQL job gets cancelled so it’s a time out setting on dbt side.  
In the documentation I encountered a _ **job\_execution\_timeout\_seconds:** _ option in the profile.yml. However it is stated that this is meant for dbt Core only, not for dbt Cloud.  
Furthermore I guess this is a dbt wide setting as I’m not seeing any configuration like this in the project I have access to.

So now I’m wondering where/how to manage this and if there is a possibility to override any default setting on a project or even model level?

It is configured at the job level.

Create Job → Deploy Job → Advanced Settings (at bottom).

Thanks! That should be helpful.  
For now managed to split up the model into different parts, which gave me a boost in performance because the parts can be executed in paralell 😉  
but good to know the setting is there!
