AWS batch documentation change

Service: batch · 2026-02-28 · Documentation low

File: batch/latest/userguide/job_stuck_in_runnable.md

Summary

Fixed maxTimeSeconds example value (144000 → 14400) and removed redundant service role warning

Security assessment

Numerical correction aligns with 4-hour timeout example. Removal of 'service role issue' reference appears to be editorial cleanup rather than security remediation. No explicit security context or vulnerability addressed.

You can do this by setting `statusReason` to `CAPACITY:INSUFFICIENT_INSTANCE_CAPACITY` and `maxTimeSeconds` to 144000 before cancelling the job and allowing the next job to advance to the head of the job queue.

-  1. **Reason:** All connected compute environments have insufficient capacity errors. When requested, AWS Batch detects Amazon EC2 instances that experience insufficient capacity errors. Manually canceling the job will allow the subsequent job to move to the head of the queue but without resolving the service role issue(s), it is likely that the next job will also be blocked as well. It's best to manually investigate and resolve this issue.
