Limit the time of folding

Hi all,
I would like to fold every now and then, but sometimes, when I start folding, it says (for example) "Work Unit (ETA): 2 days". I don't want to fold that long. I would like to fold - lets say - from 3 to 8 hours at a maximum.

Is it possible to limit the folding time?
Best regards
Christian

There is no scheduler implemented yet.
However, you can pause and resume folding whenever you like, just keep in mind that Work Units you download have expiration date. Usually couple of days, some one day

I use Finish very often.
You might get work that takes less time by adjusting the number of cpus allocated.
Don't fold on efficiency cores.
