Description

I have jobs that can run in seconds, and other jobs that run in hours. It would be very useful to be able to extend the Invisibility Timeout in Redis programmatically.

Is there any way this can be done?

I'd be willing to submit a PR for this, if it requires a modification to Hangfire.

Thanks,

- Daniel

Research direction

The issue mentions Redis and InvisibilityTimeout but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Hangfire's Redis storage and job-processing timeout handling, then determine the scope of a per-job extension API. Done would require an agreed design, implementation, tests, and documentation for extending the timeout during a running job.
