asterisk users - Apr 2017 - Any way of limiting incoming caller connection time without making 2 active calls for each incoming call?

The following setup prevents callers from going over 59 minutes:

--------------------------------------

[setup]
exten => setup,1,Answer()
    same => n,Set(LIMIT_PLAYAUDIO_CALLER=yes)
    same =>
n,Set(LIMIT_WARNING_FILE=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en_GB_TNS/time_limit_reached)
    same => n,Dial(Local/s at root/n,3,L(3540000:60000))
    same => n,Hangup()

[root]

exten => s,1,Verbose(Call to: ${CALLERID(name)} from: ${CALLERID(num)})
    same => n,etc etc

--------------------------------------

Thing is, each call shows as 2 calls in the console. Not a big
problem, but also now I want to offer a way of overriding that time
limit.

Is there a different or better way of doing this while still hanging
up after 59 minutes, even when the original incoming call has been
transferred elsewhere?

Thanks.

Jonathan,

Have you tried:
same => n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=3540)

You could override later if required.

Thanks,

Dan
