Any failure like "This test exceeded the timeout threshold. It should be
rewritten or split up. If that's not possible, use requestLongerTimeout(N),
but only as a last resort" is not a failure nor a timeout.
For these cases extending the timeout will 100% solve the failure, but it
can't be considered a long term fix since we should not have single tests
so complex to take minutes to run.
