Hi Ansgar, This is indeed what I was looking for: I was not aware of PreemptExemptTime.
>From my cursory glance at the documentation, it seems that PreemptExemptTime is QOS-based and not job based though. Is that correct? Or could it be set per-job, perhaps on a prolog/submit lua script? I'm thinking that the user could use the regular wallclock limit setting in slurm and the script could remove that and use it to set the PreemptExemptTime.
