Exit For Each Loop Container

Question

Is there a way in a foreach loop container to exit if the foreach loop container has been executing for a certain amount of time?
Thanks.

Hi miguelh,
Based on my research, there is no such a property for Foreach Loop Container to achieve this requirement. Because the Foreach Loop Container itself execute the times based on the files loop.
After testing the issue in my environment, we can add a Script Task inside the top of Foreach Loop Container to count the execute times, then add a precedence constraint with the count times on your tasks to limit the execute times. For more details, please
see:
Add a variable named Count in the package.
Drag a Script Task inside the top of Foreach Loop Container.
Double-click the Script Task, change ScriptLanguage to Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, then add User::Count as ReadOnlyVariables.
Click Edit Script to add the code like below:
 Public Sub Main()
        ' Add your code here
        Dts.Variables("User::Count").Value = Dts.Variables("User::Count").Value + 1
        Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
    End Sub
Add a precedence constraint with Constraint options below:
