Does anybody know how to set timeout for JuMP.jl?  
I used JuMP for some optimization problems, but sometime it falls in long time computation. I hope the calculation time is explicitly limited even though a exception is acceptable.  
I’ve read this: [Implement time out when creating the model - Specific Domains / Optimization (Mathematical) - Julia Programming Language (julialang.org)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/implement-time-out-when-creating-the-model/89451/2), but it’s not what I want.

Any suggestion, appreciated.

Most solvers support a time limit, which you can using `set_time_limit_sec`:

> **[Models · JuMP](https://jump.dev/JuMP.jl/stable/manual/models/#Set-a-time-limit)**
>
> Documentation for JuMP.

The results can be solver-dependent though. They may not terminate exactly on the limit, but at the next available opportunity.

Thanks,I tried it with EAGO.jl optimizer, it works.
