> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.introist.com/knowledge-base/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.introist.com/knowledge-base/build/workflow-steps/step-settings/step-cut-off-time.md). # Step cut-off time Every step has a cut-off time which is calculated as days from the steps intended execution date (scheduled date). If the step is not completed by the time the cut-off time is reached, the step will be automatically cancelled. You can control when the cut-off happens as instructed below. #### Setting step cut-off period To change steps cut-off, open the step you want to edit. Click the cut-off value in the bottom right of the steps "Schedule" block.\ Input the desired cut-off time in days. Remember to click "Save" in order to save the change. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.introist.com/knowledge-base/build/workflow-steps/step-settings/step-cut-off-time.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
