I'm gonna take a stab and say that <cfsetting requesttimeout="seconds"> only works for the request and not the individual actions/calls etc. in the request.

Specifically: I have a series of quite long running operations which are scheduled to occur every 15 min, what I want to avoid is the total overrunning 15 min so another instance starts before the last one has finished. (this is retreiving stuff down a leased line which is usually fast but sometimes very slow). so, if: I put a timeout of 5 min (300) on Operation A and then a timeout of 3 min (180) on Operation B and then Operation A completes in 1 min, does the new timeout on operation B have a further 3 min to run the request, or is the OVERALL timeout of the request actually reduced to 3 min, so in fact I have only 2 min to run before it times out? Note that I don't want to use CFTHREAD with this, because it's important Operation A completes before Operation B starts. The logic of the thing stops Operation B running at all if Operation A fails to complete.
