How to set timeout for deployment review confirmations?

Question

Body

So basically I'm using environment deployment review approvals for deployment to production environment. I have configured the pipeline so that only one deployment to production can be active at one time. I am also using Merge queue with 60 minutes total timeout for the deployment pipeline.

The problem is that if someone does not confirm the deployment then the pipeline will be basically stuck for 30 days docs. Another problem is that while the merge queue timeout does remove the job from the queue the pipeline is still left running and is not cancelled unless manually done so. This blocks the whole pipeline unless someone understands a job somewhere in the past is causing this behavior.

If a job is not approved within 30 days, it will automatically fail.

So my question is that is there a way to configure that value? Timeout-minutes for the job is not working since the job is not basically running at all before it is confirmed.

Any help appreciated, please.

Would also like the ability to change the default 30 day timeout, or ideally have the jobs not fail when 30 days has passed.

I'm encountering a situation where all commits in a report are deployed to a staging environment, and then approval is required to deploy to the production environment. However, not all commits are promoted to production, which means the production deployment job fails after 30 days and an error email alert is triggered.

Anyone figure this one out? Experiencing the same thing.
