<para>Note that the start timeout is also applied to service reloads, regardless if implemented
through <varname>ExecReload=</varname> or via the reload logic enabled via <varname>Type=notify-reload</varname>.
If the reload does not complete within the configured time, the reload will be considered failed and
the service will continue running with the old configuration. This will not affect the running service,
but will be logged and will cause e.g. <command>systemctl reload</command> to fail.</para>
