Timeouts on wait pages

#1 by ExperimenterDan

I searched through other posts, but didn't see anything that quite answered my question. 

I have an experiment with multiple waiting points. The "Timeouts on wait pages" topic in the documentation would work well for the first waiting page when groups are formed, but not for the other waiting pages that come after that since participants are not being grouped by arrival time (or re-grouped at all) there. 

In the past, I have used an approach similar to what's described in this topic, but instead using client-side script on the wait page to do the time comparison, and then redirecting to a static exit page if the waiting threshold (5 minutes) has passed following the most recent refresh.

I can do this again if I need to, but just wanted to see if there was a cleaner solution that I've missed since the last time I looked into this. Thanks in advance either way for any feedback anyone has!
