Long-running jobs no longer killed after 2 hours by SLURM

[fab-dav]

Fix · published 2026-08-08

Some analyses (for example large Seurat SCTransform normalizations) were being cancelled by SLURM after exactly 2 hours when the submitted walltime was too short.

This is fixed: all jobs are now submitted with a 24-hour SLURM time limit (or longer if the duration prediction plus a 5-minute buffer exceeds 24 hours).

If a job failed earlier with a SLURM time-limit cancellation, you can safely relaunch it.
