"size: 2x" still makes my pipeline fail after 119 minutes instead of 239 minutes

[rubenanapu]

Hi all,

about ~two years ago (when Pipeline was introduced on BitBucket) I started using and back then when I set "size: 2x", my pipeline would still fail after 119 minutes. I then stopped using that setting.

Today (12th May, 2020) I tried to use that option again but my Pipeline still fails after 119 minutes.

The docs say that putting "size: 2x" the building time would also duplicate. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Is it a problem on BitBucket side?

My pipeline is something like:

pipelines:
  custom:
    my_pipeline_name:
      - step:
        name: Step Name
        size: 2x 
        script:
          - my long running script

Hello @rubenanapu ,

The docs say that putting "size: 2x" the building time would also duplicate. 

Not exactly. That document is saying that 2x setting will consume twice the number of build minutes for the same time interval, compared to the standard 1x build. So for example, a build that lasts 4 minutes would consume 8 build minutes if 2x setting is applied.

However, the limit of build time remains same.

Does this make sense?

Cheers,
Daniil

Ok, now I got it.

Thanks for clarifying it.
