Why does laravel queue ignore my timeout value?

Question

why is my queue job timing out? I am using database as a driver I tried the following:

class PdfGenerator implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

    protected $userData;
    protected $filename;
    protected $path;
    public $timeout = 1200;
    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($userData, $filename)
    {
        //
        $this->userData = $userData;
        $this->filename = $filename;
        $this->path = \public_path('\\pdfs\\'.$this->filename.'.pdf');
    }

    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $pdf = App::make('snappy.pdf.wrapper');
        $footer = \view('supporting.footer')->render();
        $header = \view('supporting.header')->render();
        //$userData = \collect([$this->userData[1]]);
        $pdf->loadView('order_clean', ['users' => $this->userData])
        ->setOption('margin-top', '20mm')
        ->setOption('margin-bottom', '20mm')
        ->setOption('minimum-font-size', 25)
        ->setOption('header-html', $header)
        ->setOption('footer-html', $footer);
        $pdf->save($this->path);
    }
}

php artisan queue:work --timeout=1200

php artisan queue:listen --timeout=0

yet my queue job still fails due to timeout of 60s according to the logs because the symfony process timed out. I am not using supervisor yet, just trying out how the queue works from the console

edit:: controller code + blade code controller code:

class OrderController extends Controller
{
public function renderPDF()
    {
        $user_data = $this->getUserData();
        $filename = 'test '.\now()->timestamp;
        //no timeouts here
        //if not ran on queue and with set_time_limit, takes around 70s
        //at current data size
        $this->dispatch(new PdfGenerator($user_data,$filename));
        //view returns successfully
        return \view('test.test', ['filename'=>$filename]);
    }
}

Perhaps your job is calling another script that is timing out due to your server's max_execution_time setting. If so, please try adding set_time_limit(1200) to the top of your processing script or long running function. — Wesley Smith

there is a big red exclamation mark in the docs that says this in the Timeout section for queues — lagbox

no worries, may not be the answer but you should make sure it is installed, good luck :) — lagbox

If you want to be able to set the timeouts you should make sure you have the pcntl PHP extension installed and enabled.

"The pcntl PHP extension must be installed in order to specify job timeouts."
