I have students using cloud.sagemath for some Project Euler problems, and some of their programs appear to be taking quite some time to complete. How does cloud.sagemath compare to a local installation? In particular:

Can programs executed through cloud.sagemath run for an arbitrary amount of time? If not, is any kind of message printed when they are terminated?
How would runtimes on a local install on a "typical baseline" computer compare with runtimes at cloud.sagemath?

Unless the cloud is overloaded, there should not be so much difference. In case of doubt, just run a given program on both your personal computer and the cloud and use %timeit my_sage_command so see how long it takes in both cases. Anyway, the main rule of project Euler is that the solution should not last more than one minute on a modest computer, so it is lilely your student's programs are not optimal
