--max-time

Maximum time in seconds that you allow each transfer to take. This is useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow networks or links going down. This option accepts decimal values (added in 7.32.0).

If you enable retrying the transfer (--retry) then the maximum time counter is reset each time the transfer is retried. You can use --retry-max-time to limit the retry time.

The decimal value needs to provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not the local version even if it might be using another separator.
