I wonder if this was a common way of operating in a past age. A few
years back I found a customer doing likewise with a WTOR in UTL -
apparently expecting the task(s) in the address space in question to be
non-dispatchable whilst the exit was in play and had a WTO(R)
outstanding.

I got called in because the address space kept burning CPU - several
hours worth in one case when the protein robots were less than fully
attentive for a while. Not the customers (or my) idea of a "little bit
of cpu time".
Rather than attempt something like Yves, we went with just allowing the
WLM policy and initiator time limits handle things.
Prod batch was allowed to proceed unmolested (because it never hit UTL
for CPU expiration) - user batch got unilaterally cancelled if it was in
the wrong class and used too much CPU for the performance profile it was
designated.
Complaints were curtly dealt with. Rules is rules ...
