I have accessed the Prefect knowledge base, and the information I have gathered indicates that the Prefect timeout feature is a feature that allows users to set a maximum timeout for any task. This feature ensures that any task will end after a certain period of time regardless of its progress or output. It is built into the Prefect core, allowing users to set the timeout for each task at the beginning of a workflow. For more information about the feature, you can check out the [Prefect Release Notes](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/RELEASE-NOTES.md) or the Prefect blog post [Attending to Cloud Performance](https://www.prefect.io/guide/blog/attending-to-cloud-performance/). I hope this answers your question about the Prefect timeout feature!
