max cpu_time_limit is not excceding 5s about ide HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @ADITYACODER007,

max_cpu_time_limit value that you get (https://api.judge0.com/config_info) is the maximum cpu_time_limit you could set when making a new submission.

Judge0 IDE uses default cpu_time_limit which is 2 as per the data the above link gave us.

Yes, I know that config. But when cpu_time_limit is set to 15 while making your API call, the program still runs for max 5sec.

"cpu_time_limit":"15","cpu_extra_time":"2",

Time Limit Exceeded 5.052s, 252KB

Tried for:
for (;;);

That is because wall_time_limit is set to 5 seconds. Set wall_time_limit to 20 (allowed max. is also 20) and let me know if it works.

Take a look here for the explanation about wall_time_limit flag.

yep. Works now. Thanks.
