Question

A data scientist launches a Databricks AutoML classification experiment through the UI and sets the 'Timeout (minutes)' field to 30. After 30 minutes the experiment stops while several trial runs are still queued. What happens to the results the experiment has produced so far?

Accepted Answer

AutoML returns the best model found within the time limit, and the generated notebooks and logged runs for completed trials remain available.

Answer

The experiment is discarded entirely because it did not run to completion, and no notebooks or metrics are saved.

Answer

AutoML automatically extends the timeout until all queued trials finish before returning any results.

Answer

Only the data exploration notebook is retained; all model trial runs are deleted when the timeout is reached.
