Maximum execution time (and --timeout flag) is overridden to 300 seconds

[jackwh]

On version 7.5.2, when calling php artisan backup:run --timeout=900, the 900-second timeout I've specified is not being honoured.

This is on a Laravel Forge server, and I've even set the PHP maximum execution time to 900 seconds in the Forge control panel too. So it seems as though somewhere in the code, the timeout is being reset to 300 seconds...

▶ php artisan backup:run --timeout=900
