In the fall of 2021, if you had a job which timed out, you was able to understand that by going on workflow's Summary page, scrolling down to "Annotations" and seeing text like The job running on runner ..... has exceeded the maximum execution time of 3 minutes..

Nowadays the comment lacks any details about the timeout and only says The operation was canceled. without specifying the exact reason. The only way to guess (not know for sure) is to check job's running time and compare it with workflow's configuration.

That's very confusing, especially for people who are just getting started with GitHub Actions. You have to both know about that quirk and be able to look up the timeout somewhere in the settings or the docs.

Would be nice if we can have that behavior back.
