Scenario and step timeouts are not working as expected

Problem

Hey guys, looks like there is a problem with timeouts. I notice two problems:

1. Global step timeout doesn't always work (see example below where step1 doesn't have specific step timeout but it fails because of Scenario timeout)
2. After Scenario times out, all the consequent Scenarios are failing because of 0.01ms timeout. It looks like Scenario timeout acts as a global timeout

Expected results

In my case, I'd expect step1 to fail because of global step timeout of 150sec and step2 fail because of custom timeout of 120sec which I set in config. All the Scenarios should execute and if they time out after 600sec (as set in config), it should affect only single Scenario. But it's not the case

Console output:

# initial step fails
[LOG] 04-17-24 03:35:58 error: Step 'step1' failed
[LOG] 04-17-24 03:35:58 error:  | TC-8652: Verify that *** failed:

Config

Here's timeouts config. Note that step1 which was the step where scenario initially failed doesn't have specific timeout

exports.config = {
  timeout: 600,
  plugins: {
    stepTimeout: {
      enabled: true,
      customTimeoutSteps: [
        ["step2", 120],
        ["step3", 60]
      ]
    }
  }
}

I also noticed a note in the docs which says that previous implementation was disabled. I wonder if the issue still persists or returned somehow
