Sorry can't find it there. Can you please give a paragraph
reference.

6.2.2 Assigned Area Task, mentions a Minimum task time which is the
same as US rules. A search for maximum task time returned no results.

I obviously fell into the trap of not answering your question correctly...
As I said before, it's not a maximum but a minimum. SeeYou has a setting
for Task Time, what your scoring script does with it is up to you. Perhaps
you should ask Naviter to change the flag to "Task Time Out" instead of
"Photo Landing" when the task time expires. It has occasionally caused me to
wonder what was happening after a long day scoring contest traces until I
realised it was just the clock going 'ping'.
However, I was trying to answer the OP and not just give SeeYou a hard time.

The answer is, If you don't want to run a scoring script (i.e. most of the
time) and you have an AAT flight, don't set a task time and SeeYou will give
you all the information you need. If you do set a tasktime, SeeYou will
treat the timeout as a photolanding. Tasktime is (I believe) only of
consequence when trying to sort out the scores for a competition.
