How do I disable the Build Queue Timeout event?

You can disable the Build Queue Timeout event by disabling build monitoring for your Bamboo installation. See Disabling Build Monitoring.
(info) Please note, you cannot disable the Build Queue Timeout event without disabling all build monitoring features for your Bamboo installation.

How do I change how often Bamboo checks for build queue timeouts?

By default, Bamboo will check whether a Build Queue Timeout event has been thrown every 60 seconds. You can change this by configuring the system property, bamboo.buildQueueMonitor.checkInterval. This property is specified in seconds.

Please read the Configuring System Properties page for instructions on how to configure the bamboo.buildQueueMonitor.checkInterval system property.
