It would be awesome if youtube-dl had an option to define maximum time allowed for the download #24053

Description
Due to restrictions in my workplace I need to interrupt my download after x seconds and then wait with a timeout to continue downloading and then repeat this process again and again until the download is complete.
I tried use this option:
--external-downloader curl --external-downloader-args “--max-time ”
But the problem is when the “--max-time” option is complete I think youtube-dl detect it as an error in the connection and it try to auto retry the download and start the download process again.
I not found an option in youtube-dl to set no rety. The only option I see is --retries wish define the number of retries and when I set --retries 0 an error occurs.
Thank you for your attention and please let me know if there is a better way to do what I trie to do with youtube-dl
Sorry for my poor english
