As far as I know, held status is only for queued jobs. It is used to determine
if a job is ready to be run. This is a different state.

Looking at the code, the jobs should release back into queued once the timeout
is off.

I don't know, it's just a preset (I consider it quite reasonable). Its a
compile time constant, you can easily change it if you don't like it.

Yeah, configurable is always better.
