## Declaration

```swift
var timeLimit: Duration? { get }
```

Discussion Associate a time limit with tests by using timeLimit(_:). If a test has more than one time limit associated with it, the value of this property is the shortest one. If a test has no time limits associated with it, the value of this property is nil.
