How can I extend CloudBuild timeout

Question

I have tried many different options for extending CloudBuild duration but my gcloud app deploy step will always times out after 10 mins. Following tips from other threads, I have tried this setting on my local terminal

gcloud config set app/cloud_build_timeout 2000

I have also tried many combinations of build job and task level timeouts, but the step always fails at 10 minutes with this error in the cloud build logs

ERROR: context deadline exceeded

And this error on my laptop

Step #2: ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [4] Cloud build did not succeed within 10m.

My cloudbuild.yaml is

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/npm
  args: [ install ]

- name: 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/ng'
  args: ['build', '--prod']

- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud
  #entrypoint: 'bash'
  #args: ['-c', 'gcloud config set app/cloud_build_timeout 2000 && gcloud app deploy']
  args: [ app, deploy ]
  timeout: 2000s

timeout: 4600s

And I run the build from my laptop with the command

gcloud builds submit . --config=cloudbuild.yaml --timeout=1h

How can I allow the gcloud app deploy step to run for longer than 10 mins?

Update 1

I have also tried various versions of this as per comments below, still the same error message

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/npm
  args: [ install ]
  timeout: 2000s

- name: 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/ng'
  args: ['build', '--prod']
  timeout: 2000s

- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud
  args: [ app, deploy ]
  timeout: 2000s

timeout: 6100s

I don't know if it is relevant or not, but looking at the logs, it appears the gcloud app deploy step is compiling the code again, same as the previous step.

From documentation:

Add a timeout field to the build step. This is because Cloud Build build steps and builds have a default timeout of 10 minutes and App Engine deployments could take longer than that to complete. Specifying a longer timeout will make sure that the build doesn't timeout if gcloud app deploy takes longer than 10 minutes to complete.

Example:

steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud'
  args: ['app', 'deploy']
  timeout: '1600s'

The above example will add a 27-minute timeout to your App Engine deployment.
