Jaime, That’s heavily workload dependent. We run a traditional HPC cluster and have a 7 day grace on home and 14 days on scratch. By setting the soft and hard limits appropriately we’ve slammed the door on many a runaway user / group / fileset. YMMV…

You should set it to 2 hours or 4 hours. In an environment such as ours a runway process can easily generate 500TB of data or 1 billion inodes in few hours, and choke the file system to all users/jobs.
