In the standalone Control-M File Watcher utility (ctmfw) there is an option  "Absolute stop time".
What is the equivalent option in Control-M for File Transfer (AFT) filewatcher jobs?

Control-M for File Transfer plugin 7.0.00

Legacy ID:KA387015

In your AFT job, click the Advanced button next to the file watcher entry. There, go to the File Watcher tab and you'll find these two options: "Time limit type" and "Time Limit".
Set the "Time limit type" option to "Wait until" and then fill in the end time you want in the format hhmm in the "Time Limit" field.

Example:
