Standard logic app run timeout setting is not working

Azure logic app workflow RunTimeout setting is not working.

Links I followed,

Run duration setting

Host settings

Things I tried,

1. Added Runtime.Backend.FlowRunTimeout setting in host settings to 30 seconds.
2. Stopped, Restarted logic app
3. Added delay for 1 minute in HTTP trigger logic app.
4. It executed after waiting for a delay of 1 minute instead of timing out.
5. Also tried increasing delay time and timeout duration, still no luck.

After reproducing from my end, I faced the same issue. However, to achieve your requirement, I tried to automate this using HTTP triggers in a logic app calling the required standard logic app along with its workflows and runs. I tried to cancel the run which are taking more time than the expected time. Below is the flow of my logic app.

After following up with Microsoft team, the minimum value which can be set for "Runtime.Backend.FlowRunTimeout" is 7 days.

Here is the Github issue ref - RunTimeout Issue

Also merged a PR to update this in their doc so less people suffer on this later.
This minimum value will be updated here in a few days - Microsoft Doc
