Two quick comments:

1. You do not need to reset the timeout limits yourself; it's already
taken care of, cf. help("evalWithTimeout").
2. Have you tried example(evalWithTimeout)?  It should illustrate how
it works/is used.  It's also a good example to verify that it also
works on your machine (I'd be really surprised if it doesn't).  When
you have confirmed that example code works, then extend it.

Hope this helps. Unfortunately, that's all we can help you with
(unless you send a minimal reproducible example that we can also test
on our end).
