Increasing FUZZ_SECONDS does not seem to be enough to fix this...
But I see fuzz_seconds // fuzzers_left_to_run so maybe this fuzzer is a bit long but it should have more time than the others...

[oliverchang]

The duration should come from FUZZ_SECONDS // fuzzers_left_to_run as you mention. How long should get allocated according to your FUZZ_SECONDS and how long does it take locally to run?

[catenacyber]

Well, I am not sure which fuzz target times out in the first place.

I get

> time ./src/fuzz_predefpcap_aware -merge=1 newdir/ suricata-cfl/corpus/fuzz_predefpcap_aware/

...

I guess the log should tell me the command which timed out and the timeout it used
