Excuse me, I need a human task to no longer be available when a boundary timer event triggers.  
I have set the execution time to a time limit, at the same time the boundary triggers(2 minutes).  
But even when the boundary time triggers, there’s still avalible the task, so there can be 2 sequence flows; that’s bad.

What I want:  
the human task is available.  
if the task is not done in 2 minutes the boundary time will trigger advancing to the next task  
if the boundary time triggers, the task should no longer be available.

The boundary timers do indeed terminate the user task (at least, they do in 7.3.2). I use this technical extensively.

Can you provide some more detail?

For example:  
1: check the task ID number before and after the timer - are they the same (the task wasn’t aborted) or are they different (in which case, the task has been restarted by something in your process).

2: Are there any errors in the logs?

I think you just need to use a interruptive-boundary timer instead of a non-interruptive one.

thank you, I solved it: it was just a non-interrupted timer, and i needed a siple boundary timer.

Thank you for your help.
