When scheduling a post-patch reboot job in Ansible Automation Platform, the manual time field defaults to 60 minutes. However, our process requires the time to be 20 minutes by default. We need the ability to either modify the default value or configure it permanently to 20 minutes, so that we don’t have to manually adjust it for every job execution.     

Suggested customer to make changes, you can update the configuration directly on console.redhat.com at the following link:

```
https://console.redhat.com/ansible/automation-analytics/reports/automation_calculator
```

The suggestion to update through the console link works, but the issue is that customer would still need to manually change the timeout from 60 to 20 for every individual play/job. Since customer have around 150 plays, doing this manually each month is not practical.

customer is looking for a way to set a global default timeout of 20 minutes for all new jobs/templates.

business justification:
```
Current Challenges:
The default timeout is fixed at 60 minutes. We have nearly 150 plays, and each time we schedule jobs, we need to manually update the timeout to 20 minutes. This is repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone.

Business Impact:
Manual timeout changes increase operational overhead and slow down patch cycles. There is also a risk of inconsistency if any play is missed or incorrectly configured.

Implementation Benefits:
A global default timeout of 20 minutes will save significant manual effort, ensure consistency across jobs, and reduce human error.
